Interlaken Hostels - Reviews and Rates

The forecast was for a hot weekend in Lyon so Karen, Samatha and I decided to escape to Interlaken, Switzerland. Unfortunately Jon could not join us so it was a girls weekend. We didn't get Samatha to try cheese fondue but she discovered the Swiss verson of chicken nuggets. Can you say pork?

Interlaken was beautiful. We made it to the To...

Definitely one of my favorite places...canyoning with Taylor and some other friends from Japan...plus the Alps are just phenomenal...

Interlakken is great. It's smack-dab in the middle of the mountains. It's a very small, very friendly little town. Being so small, there isn't much to see. However, Interlaken has made a name for itself by becoming a leader in extreme sports. Oops, they call them adventure sports so your travel insurance still covers you. Anyways, the first day ...

Today we woke up early and headed to the train station. It would be a very exciting day because by 10:30 am, we would be at the highest point of Europe. The Jungfraujoch, is the highest peak of the Swiss Alps. There would be 3 transfers on a cog railway in front of us. Unfortunately, this is also the day that I turned 30 years old. Shh don't tel...

With everything from the waist up and hips down either sore or bruised, I wasn't so sure how I would manage (although I was a...

I know most people don't say this, but I was looking forward to going to Geneva. Honestly, there's a reason why most don't. There's not a whole lot to the city, it's more purpose built than anything, meant to serve an international community as it houses an office of the United Nations and the Red Cross' headquarters. You walk down the streets a...

Left my wallet down on top of the payphone last night. It was still there this morning amazingly enough. That could have been disastrous. Hiked 14 miles through beautiful Alpine scenery. Almost got to ride a cable car up into the mountains but were about 10 minutes too late so we just ended up walking around and buying some souveniers and post c...

Woke up at noon. Cloudy. Had brunch of yogurt, bread, jam, coffee. We went out to Monika's shop, but, when it began raining, Ian wanted to run back to their flat to bring down laundry. (Once a week, they're allowed to hang out laundry.) Paul and I borrowed bikes and rode out past the hotels, out of town. The rain returned. Each cow had its own b...
