Le migliori recensioni!
Leggiamo ogni recensione e apprezziamo sinceramente tutti i tipi di feedback. Quelli positivi sollevano il nostro spirito e quelli critici ci aiutano a crescere.
Detto questo, abbiamo deciso di non rispondere individualmente a ogni singola recensione. Scegliamo invece di concentrare il nostro tempo e le nostre energie sul miglioramento effettivo delle cose qui all'ostello.
Sappiamo che al giorno d'oggi le persone spesso si aspettano che le aziende rispondano a ogni recensione, in parte per dimostrare il loro interesse e in parte per aumentare la visibilità online. E ci importa, profondamente. Ma rispondere a ogni singolo commento solo per far sembrare che ci interessiamo ci sembra non autentico. Siamo un gruppo molto umano e amiamo connetterci in modo reale. Preferiamo mantenere le cose reali piuttosto che trasformare le recensioni in un esercizio di checkbox.
Sappiamo anche che le recensioni sono profondamente personali e soggettive. Per favore leggili con questo in mente e prendi ciò che ti è utile per decidere se Balmers è il posto giusto per il tuo soggiorno.
On a more personal note: getting a negative review, especially when it’s rooted in a lack of communication, can be really disheartening. Il nostro team è sempre presente e disponibile per una chiacchierata di persona e puoi anche contattarci tramite e-mail, telefono o WhatsApp se qualcosa non va durante il tuo soggiorno. Preferiremmo di gran lunga provare a sistemare le cose in tempo reale piuttosto che leggerle più tardi quando è troppo tardi per aiutare.
Tutti qui a Balmers si preoccupano sinceramente di ciò che facciamo. Vogliamo che il tempo trascorso con noi diventi parte del tipo di ricordi "buoni, migliori, sorprendenti" che porterai a casa.

Stories, smiles, and a legendary Balmer’s moment with the man behind the name.

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.

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? 😏

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.

Fresh mountain water, straight from our brand-new fountain, installed by Erich Balmer. 💧
