Looking for the ultimate basecamp in Interlaken? Here is why Balmers Hostel belongs on your bucket list: 👇
Deep Roots: Running since 1907, it’s one of Switzerland’s oldest privately owned hostels—and it’s still proudly run by the Balmer family today. 🏔️
The Vibe: Forget boring corridors. Balmers is a collection of traditional Swiss chalets centered around a lively courtyard, sunny terraces, and communal tables made for meeting people. 🇨🇭
Cook & Connect: Their massive, fully equipped communal kitchen is the ultimate hub for prepping dinner and making new friends from around the world. 🍳
The Hidden Gem: The indoor hammock room is the perfect sanctuary to read or escape the crowd. (Missed it on video, so enjoy the photo instead!). Open daily 8 AM – 10 PM. 💤
More than just a place to sleep, it’s a proper travel community. Have you stayed here yet? 🎒

Found the best seat in Brienz🇨🇭💯
Sometimes the best activity on the itinerary is simply sitting still. 🗺️🧘♂️
After a week of hiking, paragliding, and hostel parties, this quiet little corner of Brienz is exactly what the doctor ordered. Just you, a wooden bench, and a view that makes you realise why you packed your bags in the first place. Absolute peace. ✨🛶

Hello everyone!
We stayed at the famous Balmers Hostel in Interlaken, Switzerland.
The history of this place dates back to 1907, when a married couple, Frieda and Adolf Balmer, opened a small guesthouse for travelers. Over the years, it became a favorite destination for visitors from all over the world and is now considered one of the oldest and most famous privately owned hostels in Switzerland. More than a century later, the hostel is still managed by the Balmer family.
Balmers consists of several traditional Swiss chalet-style buildings. Between them, you’ll find a cozy courtyard, green gardens, and relaxing outdoor spaces. There are long communal tables, terraces, and plenty of places where travelers can meet, share stories, and connect with one another. Because of this, Balmers feels less like a typical hostel and more like a small international community.
Another highlight of the hostel is its large communal kitchen, where guests can prepare their own meals. The kitchen is fully equipped with stoves, cookware, refrigerators, and everything needed for cooking. It’s also a place where people from different parts of the world meet, exchange experiences, and make new friends.
The place that impressed me the most was the hammock room. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to capture it on video, so I’ll share a photo instead. It’s a small and cozy relaxation space inside the hostel where guests can read, unwind, or simply enjoy some quiet time. The room is open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
Thanks to its unique atmosphere, rich history, and welcoming environment that brings people together, Balmers Hostel continues to hold a special place in the hearts of travelers from around the world.

Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday, all things considered. 🛶☀️
If you’re looking to escape the heat, the middle of Lake Brienz is about as good as it gets. Glacial turquoise water, massive cliffs, and just the sound of your paddle. No high-speed engines, no rushing around—just proper alpine peace (and a decent workout for your arms, if we`re being honest). 🏔️✨
Pop by reception to book a kayak slot before they’re all gone. 🎒

📍Interlaken, Switzerland🇨🇭 from @travelsruben
The town is built between two turquoise lakes 🏞️
Situated in the heart of the Alps, Interlaken offers a unique setting in the world, with dozens of paragliders coloring the sky every day 🪂
The spot not to miss: take the funicular to go up to Harder Kulm. The view up there is simply spectacular 🚠✨

Home is where the hostel kitchen is. ❤️
One of our favorite parts of summer at Balmers is watching the communal kitchen come alive in the evenings. Tonight, we’re swapping out standard backpacker pasta for a true Swiss masterpiece: homemade fondue! 🫕✨

If summer had a secret escape, it would probably look like Bachalpsee.
Turquoise water, alpine silence, and mountains reflecting like a mirror — the kind of place that makes you forget your phone for a minute and just exist✨

Checking into a hostel is never just about getting a bed—it’s about who you share the room, the kitchen, and the stories with. 🌍✨ Thanks @travelerargentina for this picture.
From cooking chaotic group dinners to swapping hiking tips over a beer, hostel life is where strangers become lifelong friends in less than 24 hours. Here’s to the late-night chats, the early-morning mountain callings, and the global family you didn`t know you needed.
📍 Your Interlaken home base since day one. 🇨🇭

Finding that perfect daily balance. 🧘♂️🌊
A chilly evening dip, a warm sunset, and absolute quiet. Sometimes the best itinerary for a Swiss summer day is simply having no itinerary at all. Just you, the water, and the peaks. 🌲🌅

Snail mail is very much alive and kicking at Balmers. ✉️❤️
There`s something quite special about reading these before starting a shift. Real notes from real people who arrived as strangers and left as part of the family. If you`re looking for a proper mountain escape with a brilliant crowd, you know where to find us. 🗺️🍻

Right foot blue, left hand yellow, and any remaining dignity out the window. 🎲👀
Just a standard evening at Balmers, breaking the ice the only way we know how: total, uncoordinated chaos. It turns out "left" and "right" get significantly harder to balance after a local beer. 🇨🇭🍻
