Interlaken combines glorious mountain scenery with immaculate Swiss organization to produce the ideal holiday destination. Whether you're a motivated mountaineer, a part-time paddler or an armchair observer of natural beauty, you'll find something here to take your breath away. Taking a private Interlaken tour is the best way to experience this alpine wonderland.

Situated along the Aar river on a thin strip of land between Lake Brienz and Lake Thun, hemmed in by mountains, Interlaken offers 360 degrees of adventure. If you've got a head for heights, let a local guide lead you along the intricate network of footpaths that crisscross the region for stunning views of the valley floor and the jagged peaks beyond. Not inclined towards climbing inclines? Hop the Jungfraujoch railway and ascend to 3400 metres, allowing access to the 'Top of Europe.'

With characteristic precision, Swiss transport runs like clockwork, meaning you can pack a year's worth of adventure into a week-long stay.

Interlaken

Bern - in contrast to most European capitals, is not obviously international in any way and despite playing the host to the nation's politicians, that city retains a relaxed, small town charm. At literally every step of our walk in this very Swiss city, we will be able to talk about all the most important moments in the history of the whole country. The picturesque Old Town can be visited no matter what the weather: even in rainy weather, you will not get wet because the main streets are lined with covered arcades ( 6 km. - 3. 5 miles) in length. Medieval and baroque facades blend harmoniously and the special look of the houses is complemented by amazing fountains and former fortification towers. As you admire all the architectural details, you'll understand why it's on the UNESCO list. To make sure you don't forget you're travelling through the Alpine countryside, in good weather we will be able to enjoy great views of the mountains from special viewing platforms.

I first came to Mürren forty years-ago on a one day visit and thought it was the most beautiful place in the world. I was fortunate to buy a holiday home in the village twenty years ago and spent all the formative years of our children holidaying in both summer and winter. Four years ago, my wife and I made the decision to move to Mürren to live all year round and now I share my love for the area with travellers from all round the world.

Mürren village walking tour

I live close by the Interlaken area so I have spent time at the famous Jungfraujoch which changed a lot the past years!

Did you know that in the early days when the Jungfraujoch station was built they used sleddogs to transport all the material to build the top?

At 3463 metres this is very impressive! For years there was a sleddog station at the Eigerglacier which became a tourist attraction for some time. Since I have sleddogs myself for over 20 years, the story about the dogs interests me a lot.

Now there is a new Eiger express funicular, which brings you up to the top much faster.

You will meet snowy winter all year around. Beautiful snow mountains as far as your eyes can see. . snow crunches under your feet. . overlooking the Aletsch Glacier, which will take your breath away!

Let's look on the 4000 metre peaks around you and just enjoy yourself!

Glacier, snow, Sphinx, ice palace and lots of snowy mountains on this private tour!

Jungfraujoch - the Top of Europe!

Already during the 1-hour train ride from Lucerne to Engelberg, you will admire the beautiful panorama of the mountains and the traditional wooden chalet houses. A popular resort for skiers and hikers in the past was only a small village built near the walls of the monastery established in the 12th century. If you wish, we can view the main buildings of the complex from the outside and the main church. We will definitely visit a small cheese production, where we can watch how the craftsmen work, and I will tell you about the unusual shape of one of the cheeses. Now it's time to go to the mountains! Even if you have already visited the alpine peaks, a trip to Titlis is an unforgettable experience. The world's only rotating gondola, an ice grotto with sculptures. We will also walk through the eternal snow, admire the majestic panorama of the Alps and listen to the wind singing in the steel ropes of the of the famous 100-meter-long TITLIS Cliff Walk suspension bridge.

The city presents itself with a magnificent glance which underlines its beauty and the extraordinary ability to have maintained, over the centuries, its ancient and elegant appearance. Bern offers a lot from a cultural point of view, starting with its own innate charm thanks to the fact that it has been the capital of Switzerland for a long time. This has, in a way, contributed over time to forging the character of both the city and its citizens, so to offer one of the most beautiful visits in the whole Country. Monuments such as the Münster (the main church), the Clock Tower and the imposing Federal Palace, combined with the numerous ancient streets, the famous fountains and the views on the river and the distant mountains, give it a truly unique and enviable character; without forgetting the culinary experiences, where chocolate and coffee reign supreme (Lindt and Tobler are originally from here).

Full Day Interlaken-Spiez on foot following the old Via Jacobi

The Via Jacobi in the heart of Switzerland. Hike with me along the most beuatiful and historical road of Switzerland, part of a net of old roads, all leading to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
Born in the Middle Ages, the Camino de Santiago has become the most important pilgrimage route in the world over the centuries. Not many people perhaps know that this Camino was born in every European country, including Switzerland, and then reached Spain, where all the various branches of the it are still meeting.
The goal of this tour is to make people discover this beautiful route, enjoying it at a walking pace and also enjoying the breathtaking views that we can have by doing it.

I will personally take care of the ferry tickets that will take us from one side of the lake to the other, during our walk, as well as the ticket that will take us back to Interlaken. Food is not included in the tour, but I will make sure to stop in a sandwich place or supermarket, to get some food for the day trip.

City tour and mountain beauty

We will start our journey in Interlaken, focusing on the main monuments and attractions, and then we will transfer to Thun, the city of the castles and the beautiful overlooking on the lake. All of this done using the train for a nice and gently approach to the visit of the cities and the area in wihch they are set. Interlaken and Thun, although they are close geographically, are truly different, and mainly because of their different history which led them to be what they are today.

Interlaken has a more modern and jovial breath, full as it is of rather recent architectures devoted to tourism and entertainment. Thun however, from the top of its centuries-old history and thanks to the significant historical monuments, shows an older character linked to the traditions of Swiss. What these two destinations have in common is the incredible beauty of the surroundings, characterized by hills, woods, mountains and the ever-present lake, which make both two gems just waiting to be discovered!
