Here are the 4 best Swiss experiences to have in Interlaken

Straddling the lakes of Thun and Brienz, in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, the small town of Interlaken and half a dozen snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps can be found.

Here, travellers will find the epicentre of sports tourism in the country. Being active is a must, whether you choose to embark on a dizzying ascent, or take up a soft adventure, like biking.

PAX was recently On Location in Switzerland for a FAM trip with Switzerland Tourism.

In pure Swiss tradition, here are four must-do outdoor activities in Interlaken .

Go for a ride on an E-bike

Our dynamic German guide for the duration of the trip was named Frank, and currently owns the company Flying Wheels.

It should be noted that in these suburbs of Interlaken, the streets are not lined with shopping centres or paved boulevards; rather, these are bucolic paths between the forests and mountains, marked by wooden Swiss chalets and dairy farms, where we stopped for fresh milk and cheese.

The e-bike allows cyclists, whether they're amateurs or pros, to adjust the pace of the engine according to their capacity. This means you could actually bike down these beautiful paths without sweating a single drop!

Conquer Mount Schilthorn

It's impossible not to be amazed by the Swiss engineering here. We reached the top of Mount Schilthorn, after three cable-cars where an impressive circular panorama of the Alps was on full display.

From the Piz Gloria terrace, you can see another 200 alpine peaks. When the visibility is good, you can even see the Mont Blanc Massif and the Black Forest.

Adrenaline-hungry travellers may want to plan a brief stop at Birg Station where Thrill Walk, a 200-meter-long, transparent glass walkway hangs from the steep, rocky cliff.

Go for a hike in Lauterbrunnen

Crossing the Swiss forests and massifs covers a distance of five kilometres, which, upon completion, connects Mürren to Lauterbrunnen. Here, travellers can find the freshest, most pure Alpine air.

From these heights, hikers can gaze at the valleys covered with daffodils but also the mythical Jungfrau mountain, in addition to the peaks of Mönch, Eiger and Schwarzmönch.

Reach new heights at Interlaken

An array of on-site providers offer paragliding or hang-gliding excursions in the region.

Departing from Harder Kulm after a funicular ascent (a 64 per cent incline!) to the summit (1,322 meters above sea level), it is then possible to put on the equipment and then throw yourself into the void over Lake Thune before reaching the mainland in the centre of Interlaken.
