In Tolkien's footsteps

J.R.R. Tolkien is said to have come up with the idea for Rivendell in Lord of the Rings after hiking in the Lauterbrunnental. And no wonder: there are no fewer than 72 water-falls gushing in the valley.

The lakes of Brienz and Thun

Water is certainly the element of choice around Interlaken, with a chance to do some stand-up paddling with magnificent views, a relaxing lunch on board a cruise ship, a refreshing dip, or a sailing course.

3

Fairy-tale castles around the lake

Right on the shores of Lake Thun are five magnificent castles with spacious grounds, the perfect setting to experience the life of the nobility in the turbulent Late Middle Ages.

A fun way to experience the legendary Adelboden landscape and take in the views is to travel the 45 km of scooter bike runs along 7 exciting routes. A great summer experience for all the family.
