SWITZERLAND TRIP

INTERLAKEN & BERN

INTERLAKEN

With its position at the heart of the Bernese Alps, and surrounded by crystal clear lakes, Interlaken is paradise in central Switzerland. As the name suggests, Interlaken is situated on a narrow strip of land between two lakes, Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, both of which are fed by the River Aare. A few minutes walk from the Interlaken Ost station is the funicular station for Harder Kulm. Interlaken’s own ‘mountain’ rises 1322 meters above sea level and is a great place from which to view the town of Interlaken and the surrounding Alps and lakes.

GRINDELWALD

Grindelwald is a favourite destination for those who love the mountains. You will have the chance to view Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau mountains all together in one spot. Grindelwald is surrounded by lush green grassland and towered over by the 3970 meter Eiger.

LAUTERBRUNNEN

Lauterbrunnen is a municipality in the Swiss Alps. It encompasses the village of Lauterbrunnen, set in a valley featuring rocky cliffs and the roaring, 300m-­high Staubbach Falls. Nearby, the glacial waters of Trümmelbach Falls gush through mountain crevices past viewing platforms.

BERN

The Capital of Switzerland had the most famous sights, The Zytglogge (Clock Tower), Parliament Building and BearPark. All of the Old Town is a UNESCO heritage site. Bern’s biggest gift to the sweet-toothed world is Toblerone. The triangular chocolate was invented by Theodor Tobler in 1908 and every piece is still made in Bern. Since it is winter term, we will be visiting Bern in dark.
