Ok. I've been waiting and doing my homework on Switzerland for awhile now. I finally think this post is ready to go. Switzerland looks like a hidden gem in Europe. Everyone thinks of Berlin, London, Paris, Rome etc as the place to see but Switzerland should not be forgotten.
Interlaken is frequently visited by adventure-seeking backpackers throughout the year. The town is home to numerous backpacker-friendly hostels and companies that provide guided services in skydiving, canyoning, hang gliding, paragliding, and skiing, to name a few.
Canyon Swinging? I found a great blog that has some good information and video of a girl who attempted it.
Skydiving? Interlaken has it! In fact this is one of the things I would love to do. If I could knock out two of the things on my all time "gotta do" list within a two week span, that would rock! From the homework I did, skydiving in the Swiss Alps will set you back no less than $300 and it is all or nothing. There is certainly no wuss out money back policy.
If you seek the thrill like I do, Skydive Interlaken is your place to do it. One of my friends Josh, just came back back from a trip to Europe. Here is his video of him skydiving in Interlaken:
Canyon Diving? For more information on Canyon Diving in the Swiss Alps, check out our previous post here.
Hostels? After you are worn out from all the extreme sports, Balmers is a great place to wind down the day.
Nightlife? You probably won't find much in Interlaken. I've heard from multiple sources that nightlife is almost non-existent. The best bar is Metro Bar which happens to be at Balmers!
