Hi, my name is Nicole. I live in the Meiringen area, not far from Interlaken in the Bernise Oberland. Close to Brienz. . Hasliberg. . Lake Brienz and lake Thun. . . and only an hour away from Lucerne. Very central to the most beautiful places in the Bernise Oberland and central Switzerland. I know these areas very well, since i've been living here for almost 20 years. I'm a very passionate hiking person and I love to be out in the nature in my spare time. Together with my husky dogs. Some places/ activities you might be interested in: The Jungfraujoch, top of Europe. City tour of Interlaken with the Harder Kulm [ top of Interlaken ) Lake cruises Hiking tours ( possible with husky dogs, if you wish ) Fun tours like the Gelmer funicular/ rollercoaster ( steepest funicular in Europe ) Museums: like the Ballenberg ( swiss open air museum ) Sherlock Holmes museum ect. .

Overview of your Interlaken tour

Welcome to my neighbour village Brienz, only 20 minutes from Interlaken. I will be very happy to show you around the famous small woodcarving village Brienz at the lake of Brienz! Brienz is an amazing traditional villiage right at the deep blue lake of Brienz with its beautiful color! The village presents you with its wooden chalet houses surrounded by mountains and the lake. . Very extraordinary and original. Strolling along the deep blue lake and walking through the village with the beautiful wooden chalet houses is a great experience! It will show you the traditional original life of swiss people in this village. I'd love to show you all this. In Brienz you will find the only woodcarving school in Switzerland, You will also find some sculptures along the lake. Visiting the woodcarving museum or the famous Ballenberg open air museum will be lots of fun! Closed in winter! Or getting on a lake cruise. I love Brienz a lot and love to spend time there myself. . . It is very touching and heartwarming.
