3. Healthy Food Habits from Switzerland

The stereotype is that Swiss people love to eat chocolate and cheese. But did you know, that when they are eating a proper meal, Swiss folks know how important it is to share it with friends and family? In Switzerland, in order to take care of your body and soul, you have to allow yourself some time to enjoy a healthy meal rather than eating industrial food in front of your computer. Moreover, part of the Swiss diet is to eat fresh products coming from the markets or even from the farm next door.

You will surely see that they eat plain healthy food. No light, sugar-free items on the shelves and their snacks are usually healthy as well. In Interlaken, you can also find the best fresh spring water coming straight from the glacier.

4. Go Beyond Your Limits

Interlaken is the perfect wellness destination to step aside from your comfort zone and go beyond your boundaries. As the capital of adrenaline sports, it is the best place to experience one of those crazy sport you never had the guts to try.

Flying towards the Swiss Alps at 120mph (200kmh) is sure to get anybody’s heart going… Let’s go sauter en parachute! Enjoy amazing mountain views and the sensational feeling of flying high above the Jungfrau region and go faire du parapente. Or test one of the most beautiful bungy jumps in the world!
