Imagine waking up, opening your hostel window and seeing this. 🏔️✨

Mountains stretching across the horizon, paragliders floating through the sky, and that feeling that the day could take you anywhere.

Some hostel views just hit different. 🪂🌄

🪂🌸 And… We’re Off! 🌸🪂

That split second where everything begins: the glider lifts, the lines tighten, and you start running into the open sky. 🚀✨

Captured at our take-off field in Beatenberg on a perfect day: blue skies, fresh air, and the excitement building with every step. In just a moment, you’re no longer on the ground. You’re flying above Lake Thun and the Jungfrau mountains. 🏔️💛♥️

This is where the adventure starts. Ready to run with us?

Golden hour at Neuhaus 🌅🏔️

Grab a few friends, pack some beers and snacks, jump in the lake, and stay until the sun disappears behind the mountains. 🍻🏊‍♀️

Neuhaus in Unterseen is one of those easy Interlaken evenings we never get tired of — picnic on the grass, a swim in Lake Thun, an apéro by the water and absolutely no reason to rush home.

And when the sun goes down? Head back to Balmer’s and keep the night going. 😉

🇨🇭 Is this Switzerland’s prettiest village… or just its most famous Netflix spot?

Welcome to Iseltwald, a tiny lakeside village on the shores of the unbelievably turquoise Lake Brienz 💙

You might recognize its famous pier from Crash Landing on You, but there’s much more to see here:

✨ A picture-perfect fishing village surrounded by mountains
🏰 The fairytale-like Schloss Seeburg sitting right on the peninsula
💙 Some of the bluest water you’ll find in Switzerland
🚢 And one of the best ways to get here? Take the public boat from Interlaken and enjoy the views along the way!

The famous Netflix pier costs 5 CHF to access, helping the village manage tourism and preserve the area.

📍 Iseltwald, Lake Brienz

Summer is slowly packing its bags… 🍂🏔️

The long sunny days are getting shorter, the air is getting crispier, and autumn is starting to sneak into Interlaken.

But some things don’t really change at Balmers.

Backpacks in the hallway.
New faces becoming familiar ones.
Stories being swapped in the kitchen.
Plans being made over a beer.
Big days in the mountains followed by even better nights back at the hostel.

Summer might be ending, but the adventures definitely aren’t. ❤️

Fall in Interlaken means quieter trails, golden mountains, cozy evenings and a hostel full of travellers still wondering where to go tomorrow.

Come make yourself at home.

📍 Balmers Hostel, Interlaken
🍂 Autumn looks pretty good from here.

Not your average walk in the mountains. 🧗‍♂️⛰️

Clip in, climb up, try not to look down… then absolutely look down because THAT VIEW. 🤯

Via Ferrata is one of those Interlaken adventures that looks slightly questionable from below and feels absolutely epic once you’re up there.

Grab a few hostel mates, get your gear on and go make some questionable decisions — safely attached to a steel cable, obviously. 😂

Who’s brave enough? 👀

When the cows leave their mountain pastures and make their way down for winter, you know autumn has properly arrived in Switzerland 🐄🏔️⁠
⁠
Bells ringing, alpine views, cosy village streets, and the kind of tradition that makes Interlaken feel straight out of a postcard.⁠
⁠
Come stay at Balmer’s and catch a bit of Swiss magic for yourself 🇨🇭✨⁠

10 years ago, I stayed at my first-ever hostel, and still probably my favorite one of all time, Balmers Interlaken. This was during my college semester abroad in Barcelona. I had never traveled without my parents and didn’t know what a hostel was. That semester and weekend trip to Switzerland with some of my exchange student friends really set into motion my thrill of travel and meeting people. Little did I know that 10 years later (and about 50° warmer) I would be back! ⁠

POV: you booked a hostel and somehow ended up at the end of the rainbow 🌈🍀

No pot of gold though… just cold beers, new best friends and adventure. 🍻
