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? 👀

Some hostel nights start with “let’s just go for a quick swim” and end with the whole crew watching the sky turn gold. 🌅🏔️
Sunset by the lake, surrounded by mountains, new friends and that kind of view you somehow never get tired of.
No plans. No rush. Just a bunch of travellers who met in Interlaken and ended up sharing one pretty bloody good evening together. 🇨🇭💛
Come for the Alps. Stay for the people.

How do I explain this to someone who has never skydived? 🤔

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 🇨🇭✨

From the bottom of the sea to the incredible Grindelwald Glacier, to the beginnings of tourism in Grindelwald, and now one of the craziest canyon swings in the world, this glacier canyon has seen it all.

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!

Not your average walk in the mountains 🧗♀️⛰️
Climb, scramble, question your life choices for a second… then look around and realise it was 100% worth it. 😎
Via Ferrata in Interlaken = big views, shaky legs & one hell of a story for the hostel bar afterwards 🍻
Who’s brave enough? 👀

Most people visit Interlaken and never hike up here 👀
�It’s one of the best viewpoints in the region—and way less crowded than other popular spots.
✅ No cable car needed (but there’s an option)�✅ Ideal for sunrise (still beautiful anytime)�✅ It’s a short and scenic 3-hour round trip
💡Tip: bring layers—it gets windy at the top, even in summer!
Thanks @themanduls for this amazing video

Come for the mountains, stay for the people 🍻
A beer turns into a game, a game turns into a night out, and the stranger you met five minutes ago somehow ends up in tomorrow’s plans.
That’s hostel life at Balmers. Easy to meet, easy to stay, hard to leave.

A little look inside Balmer’s 👀
Reception, living room, people coming and going… basically where plans are made, naps accidentally happen, and “just one night” somehow turns into three.
Welcome in ✌️
