Sumedha has travelled across 28 countries, including a major chunk of India, and calls Japan, Thailand, France and Switzerland her pet destinations. She is seasoned in going off the beaten track and loves documenting her journeys. Apart from getting lost in metropolises, being stranded at airports and finding solace in the hills, she actively writes for eminent travel platforms. You can follow her trips on her social media handles.
When in Interlaken, the presence of the otherwise icy and distant Jungfrau, Eiger and Monch is oddly comforting, especially when the sun is shining in all its glory. If in case you are not the biggest nature lover, the enthusiast hiding somewhere deep down will easily come out if you indulge in activities like skydiving, paragliding and a lesser-known but majorly exciting sport called ‘zorbing'. For those who believe that love at first sight is a myth, visiting Interlaken will coerce them to change their mind.
Interlaken is served by two train stations: Interlaken Ost and Interlaken West. Frequent trains connect the stations to Bern, the Swiss capital and most other destinations in and around Switzerland. Getting around Interlaken is extremely easy if you are a fan of walking. However, taxis, albeit expensive, are available and so are horse carriages for a price of about 50 CHF.
