Interlaken Favorites

The North Face trail from Allmendhubel was one of my favorite hikes. You take the funicular train up the hill from Murren, start the trail there, and the trail drops you right back down in town. Gorgeous views and walking through wildflower fields and pastures with cows.

The hike from Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg is a fairly easy short route with only slight ascents and descents. From Kleine Scheidegg, there is a beautiful view of the Jungfrau massif. The trail leads through grasslands where many alpine flowers can be seen in Summer. This route is perfectly suitable for families with small children and for people who want to walk in the high mountains without too much effort.

Bachalpsee from First is great! Very dramatic lift to an easy hike to a beautiful lake.

Around Lake Thun, take the boat to Faulensee and walk along the lake shore to Speiz. Another on the other side of Lake Thun, really more along the canal bank from Interlaken West station round the wildlife area between there and Neuhausen, and in the other direction along the canal/river bank from Interlaken West to Interlaken Ost and onward towards Bonigen.
