What can I do in Interlaken when it is raining cats and dogs?
This morning you woke up with all the joy of starting a new amazing day in Interlaken. You had planned a lot of activities and you were ready to go through all of your limits. However, today, it’s raining hard and that is changing all of your plans.
Interlaken is nestled between some huge mountains, which means the weather can change very quickly. Just because it’s wet outside now, doesn‘t mean it will be the same in a couple of hours.
When it rains
If your activity does get canceled, don’t panic. It’s usually possible to reschedule or even change to a different activity. Our staff are well tuned in to the local conditions and are here to help you sort it out. You can still have fun,
even when it’s bucketing down!
But remember, a little rain never hurt anyone
Do you recognize yourself in this situation? Take it easy, at Balmers we have planned the perfect happy rainy day ever.
Our journey starts downstairs, at the breakfast area, with a big bowl of cereals or a fresh smoothie to add some vitamins in your body.
Here are different options for you:
➤ For the epicureans, we suggest you book a course at Atelier Chocolat where you will learn about Swiss chocolate and of course, taste your self-made chocolate bar.
➤ For the more adventurous ones, you should try the mystery room activity. Have you ever wanted to play a Clue game in real life? This is the place. You will be locked in a room and you will have one hour to find some clues to get out. Good luck!
If a little bit of rain doesn’t scare you off, you can also go to Seil Park and hike in the sky. The park is always open and since you will be under the trees, it is a really good activity to book even if the sun is not available. However, if it’s raining too much, you should then try some indoor climbing at K44 or discover our famous 3D Blacklight Mini-golf.
Under the rain, you could also always do some Rafting et une sortie en kayak. You are going to get wet anyway.
➤ For the chill ones, Switzerland is also known for its watches and Swiss army knives, why not enjoy this rainy day in Interlaken and do some souvenir shopping for you, your friends, and/or family? A very nice street to buy souvenirs from is the main street of Interlaken where you will find 17 watch stores! Another alternative, if you are interested in buying a Swiss army knife, is to buy it right at Balmers’ reception. We have a special promotion for all our guests, which is -20% off every army knife. So don’t hesitate, come and talk to us, we’ll manage a good deal for you.
After spending some money well invested, the perfect way to move on with your day is to have a warm cup of tea or coffee.
Here are some nice places we recommend:
– Café de Paris, the best french café in Interlaken
– Ristorante Isetta. It is new and very cute, you can have a drink there, but the food is only served on weekend evenings. They also have second-hand stalls once a month.
– Altstadt teehaus in Unterseen, a little tea house.
– Lade Lokal
– For hot chocolate, you should go to the Atelier Chocolat. They know chocolate…
– Behind Outdoor Interlaken, there is a new art gallery called Unterdorf Atelier and Jerry, the owner gives out free coffees
And to be even more relaxing, why not go to the spa at the indoor swimming pool Bodeli Bad.
To finish this big day in beauty, let’s drive like crazy at the Go-karting in Matten or why not drop some pins at the Interlaken Bowling Center (The bowling is closed for now, March 2019 but might be open soon again)
