Was ist das Balmers Hostel?
Das Balmers Hostel ist die älteste privat geführte Jugendherberge der Schweiz und befindet sich in drei charmanten Schweizer Chalets, umgeben von Berggipfeln, die nur darauf warten, erkundet zu werden.

Oh, und bevor wir es vergessen: in der Hochsaison veranstalten wir auch die ein oder andere Party.

Reception, living room, people coming and going… basically where plans are made, naps accidentally happen, and “just one night” somehow turns into three.

Does the idea of dangling 600 meters (2000 feet) above the Lauterbrunnen Valley floor interest you?
How about walking across a tightrope, with nothing below you except a rushing river?
Or how about walking across a wobbly, narrow suspension bridge?
If you said yes to all of these questions, then put the Mürren via ferrata on your list of things to do in Switzerland.
The Mürren via ferrata is a 2.2 km journey, part via ferrata and part hiking trail. You’ll cling to a cliff, climb down steep ladders, walk on a tightrope and a suspension bridge, and (with a guide) zip line across a ravine.
This is one of the most thrilling experiences to have in the Bernese Oberland.
ABOUT THE MÜRREN VIA FERRATA
Distance:
2.2 km (1.4 miles) one-way
Elevation Loss:
300 meters
Difficulty:
K3 on the German scale
Length of Time:
3 hours
Start:
Mürren
End:
Gimmelwald
When to go:
The via ferrata is open from June 1 to October 31, from 9 am to 6 pm
Required Gear:
Harness, via ferrata set, helmet, hiking shoes
Cost:
Free
Official website:
Klettersteig Mürren
Important Note: You cannot climb the via ferrata in the rain or if rain is in the forecast. The metal steps are very slippery when wet. During our visit, we had to wait several days for the forecast to be clear before we could climb the Mürren via ferrata.

🏝️ This Lake in Switzerland Looks Like the Maldives
Lake Brienz is one of the most unique lakes in Switzerland — known for its bright turquoise color caused by glacier minerals.

📸 Best places to visit:
• Iseltwald (famous pier and village views)
• Lakeside viewpoints along the road
• Boat rides across the lake
⏰ Best time to visit:
Midday on a sunny day for the strongest color
💰 Cost:
• Walking along the lake — free
• Boat ride — approx. CHF 30–50 depending on route
💡 Tips:
• Avoid cloudy days — the color looks much less vibrant
• Go early morning or later in the evening for fewer people in Iseltwald

Ready to take the leap? 💦🪨
Cliff jumping is one of those unforgettable Interlaken experiences. Crystal-clear water, epic scenery, and just the right amount of adrenaline. Whether you`re sending it from the highest jump or cheering your mates on, it`s guaranteed to be a day to remember.
Who`s brave enough? 😏
🏡 Stay at Balmer`s, play in Interlaken.

Running above Interlaken 🇨🇭 by @scottrunning
Fav trail #1: Hardergrat Ridge!
The Hardergrat Ridge just hits different.
Started this run from the Interlaken Ost train station, going up the Hardergrat Kulm and then running the full ridge all the way to Rothorn, then descending to Brienz for a well-deserved dip in the lake. A total of 35km and 3100 D+ in 7 hours… with insane views along the way!
⚠️ The Hardergrat ridge has several exposed spots and I would not recommend it if you are not very comfortable moving theough technical, exposed terrain. You got to be careful while hiking there, let alone running. Bring shoes with good grip and avoid it on (or after) rainy days. You can get the view without doing the whole ridge, by just hiking up or taking the train up to Harder Kulm, and keep hiking for roughly an hour.
