Nestled amidst the Jungfrau, the Eiger and the Mönch peaks, with the Aare river flowing through it, Interlaken (meaning between two lakes that of Thun and Brienz), is a beautiful town in Switzerland. In fact, Interlaken truly represents what Switzerland is all about. An ideal holiday destination for those looking to relax and enjoy a quiet vacation, Interlaken has everything that a village-town in a developed country should have – lush green trees, small cosy houses, broad roads, loads of peace – and more.
In spite of being a quiet place, Interlaken can definitely give you an adrenaline rush, for there’s no dearth of small establishments that organise activities like bungee jumping, canyoning, paragliding, river rafting, ice climbing, glacier walks and much more... Be assured of a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the Swiss Alps.
Once in Interlaken, Jungfrau, (said as Yung’frou’) the top of Europe, immediately grabs eyeballs. The best way to reach Jungfrau is by Jungfraubahn cog railway, which runs inside the mountain up to the Jungfraujoch railway station. One could also trek his way up to the mountain, which is not a very difficult climb but can be dangerous at times. It’s advisable to check the weather condition before you set out for the top! On reaching Jungfrau, one could either ski or take a husky-drawn sledge ride, but a must see is the Ice Palace, which has various sculptures... igloo, snowmen, eagle, bears, mouse et al, made of ice! Do wear shoes with a good grip though, as the chances of slipping are rather high. If hunger pangs come calling, ‘Bollywood,’ an Indian restaurant offering authentic Indian buffet, offers a pleasant surprise. What’s more, posters of Bollywood movies line the walls; add to that the various signboards in English and Hindi (one could thank Yash Chopra for that) for a ‘at home’ feeling.
