Découvrez Interlaken gratuitement

Oui, nous savons que la Suisse coûte assez cher. Cependant, à Balmers, nous avons pensé à vous et avons trouvé cinq activités géniales à faire gratuitement à Interlaken.

1. Randonnée gratuite avec vue incroyable

Have you seen that big bridge walking in the emptiness from the top of the mountain over from Balmers? Well, that one is called le Harder Kulm. And from there, you have an amazing view of the surroundings and it is l' endroit idéal pour immortaliser votre séjour à Interlaken.

Two options are available, the easy one is taking the funicular that cost 30 CHF but with Balmers guest card it’s only 20CHF go and return. Or the l'option gratuite is to hike to the top. From Balmers Hostel, walk to the start of the funicular. When you are there, on the left side of the building you will see signs that are indicating you the way to the top. It is around two hours to climb up and some parts are a bit harder, especially when it is hot and sunny, but the view at the top is definitely worth the effort. And don’t forget, there is a restaurant where you can reward yourself with a good beer or a glass of coke when you reach the summit. From the top, you can also start different very nice other free hikes. Ask around or one of our super crew at reception for more information.

2. Baignade gratuite

We’d recommend you, to make the best use of the Free Bus Ticket that you receive with check-in! You can take a bus for free to vous rendre au lac Brienz ou au lac Thun where you can jump in the water. The water is crystal clear and super refreshing. I recommend grabbing some snacks at the grocery store and having the best picnic ever. You can also take some veggies to feed the ducks (please remember that bread is not good for them). Lake Brienz is the best spot to watch the sunrise and Lake Thun gives the best sunset view!

3. Réserve naturelle gratuite

Une très agréable et jolie promenade est celle qui va jusqu'à Neuhaus Nature Century. There, you will have to be quiet and respectful of the natural beauty and scenery that surrounds you. At the end of your walk, you will arrive at the Neuhaus Club just near lake Thun, where you can rent a pedalo or a longboard to chill on the lake. A lot of fun guaranteed !!

4. Visite guidée gratuite

Une très belle façon de passer une journée gratuite à Interlaken est de vous joindre à une visite à pied gratuite de Interlaken (free walking tour Interlaken). Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, at 10:40 am a local guide will pass by the reception of Balmers hostel to take the guests that want to join the tour. For two hours, you will be guided around the nice city of Interlaken and learn about all the little anecdotes that only local people know. Your guide will give you all the recommendations you should have for an amazing stay.

5. Balade et histoire

Did you know that high-quality drinking water flows from 18 village fountains all year round in Interlaken? This water is coming from the Aletsch region (UNESCO World Cultural Heritage) and meets the most stringent standards for drinking water. The Brunnenweg (le sentier des fontaines) vous raconte l’histoire de nos fontaines et vous invite à réfléchir à l’importance de l’eau dans notre vie.

Partons explorer Interlaken!
