Good people. Good stories.
At Balmers Hostel, the mountains might bring you here, but the atmosphere tends to make you stay.
Evenings in the garden, a pint or two at the bar, travellers swapping stories from the day’s adventures. Someone starts a game of foosball, someone else suggests a movie, and before you know it, the whole place feels like a very international living room.
Comfortable, lively, and just the right amount of chaos.
Book a bed. The rest tends to happen naturally.

Thinking about trying skiing or snowboarding while you’re in Interlaken?
Good idea.
From complete beginners finding their balance to experienced riders who just need the gear, we’ve got different packages to get you up the mountain.
Lessons, equipment rental, lift passes — or simply a board and skis if you already know what you’re doing.
The Jungfrau region is right on the doorstep, and winter days up there tend to be rather spectacular.
All the options (and the details) are on our website. Have a look and pick what suits you best.

One of the most beautiful lakes in Switzerland in winter 🇨🇭
📍 Oeschinen Lake, Bernese Oberland
A winter hike that feels straight out of a postcard.
🥾 Kandersteg → Oeschinensee
• 9 km round trip
• 500 m elevation gain
• Snowshoes or crampons, depending on snow and ice conditions
In winter, the famous panoramic trail is closed
(reopening June 2026).
Still, the journey to the lake is absolutely worth it: frozen water, silent forests, and alpine views in every direction.

Fun fact about **Balmers Hostel**:
It all started back in **1907**, when Frida and Adolf Balmer opened a small *Touristenheim* for travellers. By the 1950s, they were already hosting British school groups, so you could say the hostel spirit here has been going strong for quite some time.
In the 70s, the second generation expanded it from a modest 50 beds to one of the most iconic hostels in Switzerland.
Today, the third generation is still running the show.
So yes… when you stay at Balmers, you’re not just booking a bed, you’re joining over a century of travellers passing through Interlaken.

We’ve seen the debates. 🫕
Now tell us: What are the proper consequences when someone loses their bread in the fondue?
And no, “running around the table” or “paying a round” won’t cut it - we’re talking high-stakes fondue justice. 😉
👇Drop your rules in the comments - we need answers.

Not just a bed. A proper social life.
At Balmers, the days are for mountains and the evenings are for everyone else.
Think trivia nights that get surprisingly competitive.
Foosball battles that last far too long.
Movie nights with popcorn and a film.
Garden hangs. Bar chats. New mates by midnight.
You can come solo. You won’t stay that way.
Check in for the Alps.
Stay for the atmosphere.
Book your room and join in.

March in Interlaken? Best of both worlds.
Snow is still up high. Spring is waking up down low.
One day, you’re carving fresh lines in the Jungfrau region. The next time you’re paragliding over two lakes. Feeling bold? Skydive it. Prefer something calmer? Kayak on Lake Brienz or wander through Lauterbrunnen while the waterfalls are showing off.
Skiing. Snowboarding. Sledging. Skydiving. Paragliding. Canyon swings. Winter hikes. Early spring lake days.
Adventure season doesn’t end here; it just gets interesting.
Base yourself at Balmers. We’ll help you plan the rest.
Book your bed and make March count.

Ever heard of the „Blue Mind Effect“? 🌊❄️
Science shows that being near water lowers stress hormones and slows down our thoughts. In the winter, this effect is supercharged. The silence of Lake Brienz, the crisp alpine air, and the rhythmic stroke of your paddle create the ultimate mental reset.
No summer winds, no crowds—just you and the mirror-like reflections of the Swiss Alps. It’s more than an adventure; it’s moving meditation.
Ready to clear your head? 🛶✨

My favourite trip to date! 🇨🇭 The trip I dreamed about for years, and I finally made it happen, all on my own. ✈️
Traveling solo was something I never thought I’d have the courage to do. As someone who’s always surrounded by people, stepping out of my comfort zone felt terrifying… but it was exactly what I needed. I wanted to challenge myself, to grow, to prove that I could do things for myself and by myself.
The first few days were scary, getting lost, taking the wrong train, figuring things out in a new country with a new language, but honestly, that’s what made it so beautiful. The mistakes, the laughter, the little moments of “wow, I did that.”
I was lucky enough to see a close friend in Germany and then set off on my own. It felt like me vs. the world… but the world showed up for me in the best way possible. I met the most amazing people in Balmoral, Interlaken, all solo travelers who became lifelong friends. We extended our stays, shared stories, and created memories I’ll never forget. 💫
This trip was more than travel; it was a journey toward independence, confidence, and connection.�To anyone reading this: leap. Do the thing that scares you. Don’t let fear, comfort, or opinions hold you back. The world is waiting, and it’s so worth it. 🌍✨
Cheers to the memories, the people, and to always saying yes to the adventure. 🥂💛

Cosy corners. Fire nights in the garden. Proper chats that turn into long evenings.
At Balmers Hostel, it’s not just a bed for the night, it’s the kind of place where strangers become your hiking crew by morning.
• Fire nights under the stars
• Big garden for slow afternoons
• Lively bar when you fancy it
• Quiet nooks when you don’t
• Mountain views in every direction
Adventure all day. Proper comfort at night.
Book your room. Come to the Alps. Stay for the atmosphere.

14,000 feet.
One deep breath.
Then absolutely nothing beneath your trainers.
Skydiving over Interlaken isn’t just a “tick the box” moment. It’s lakes on both sides, the Jungfrau in front of you, and 45 seconds of pure freefall that rearranges your perspective entirely.
Slightly civilised panic.
Utterly unreal views.
A landing you’ll never stop talking about.
Book the jump.
Sleep it off at Balmers.

Lucerne → Iseltwald → Grindelwald → Lauterbrunnen → Interlaken.
Five stops. Zero regrets.
Start with cobbled streets and lake views in Lucerne. Drift through the quiet charm of Iseltwald. Let Grindelwald show off beneath the Eiger. Stand still in Lauterbrunnen while waterfalls do their thing. Finish between two lakes in Interlaken, preferably with a pint in hand.
The kind of road trip where every “quick stop” turns into an hour.
Base yourself at Balmers and make it legendary.

When the cold sets in, the Interlaken holiday region becomes wonderfully cosy. GIide across a calm lake, slip into a warm pool or treat yourself to a delicious raclette or fondue. As if that were not enough, you can relax in a floating sauna and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding peaks.
Relaxing Hotpot experience in Brienz and Beatenberg Unique Hottug experience on Lake Brienz Sealander, a floating caravan on Lake Thun Floating sauna on Lake Thun with stunning view Enjoy delicious Raclette on a rafting-boat on Lake Brienz.

Some leave with a backpack.
Some leave with a story.
And some leave us a postcard.
We’ve always liked the idea that a few lines scribbled over coffee can say more than a five-star review ever could. A thank you, a memory, a joke that only makes sense if you were there.
If you’ve stayed with us at Balmers, you’ll know — it’s never just a bed for the night. It’s the people you meet, the kitchen chats at 2am, the plans that weren’t planned.
Until next time.

Sleds. Speed. Screams.
That kind of cold that bites your cheeks and makes the laughs louder.
No skills needed.
Winter hits different when you stop watching and start sliding.

Until next time, Balmers.
Some came as strangers, left as friends. Nights turned into stories, stories into memories that will travel far beyond Interlaken. From shared dinners to late talks, mountain mornings to unforgettable adventures, this is what Balmers is all about.
Our doors stay open, the lights stay warm, and your place here will always be waiting.
See you soon.

❄️ One of the most special winter experiences you can have in Switzerland: walk on the frozen Oeschinensee! 🇨🇭
In winter, when conditions allow, they have a marked ice walk on the lake. It’s open now, so it’s time for a day trip.
To reach the lake, travel to Kandersteg, ride the gondola up, then follow the groomed snowy trail to the lakeside, about 30 mins.
Always check the safety sign at the lake before stepping on the ice. Then enjoy a stroll on the ice, keeping within the marked borders, about a 1 km loop.
⚠️ Conditions can change quickly, so always check the trail status online and info boards before heading out. They regularly check ice stability and close the ice walk if necessary.
