Many people have dreamt of a white, wintery adventure, where you finally have a reason to pull those mammoth coats and Pom-Pom beanies out of the closet. Here are my top winter activities that shouldn’t be missed if you’re in Interlaken, Switzerland at this time of year!
1. Skiing or Snowboarding ⛷
To be perfectly honest, of all the places I’ve skied in the past, Switzerland has to be #1. Jungfrau region is blessed with some of the best locations for downhill skiing and snowboarding. If you’re taking your very first shaky skiing down, we’ve got a ski course for you. Interlaken and enjoy this beginner’s skiing adventure in the Swiss Alps. Marvel at the epic views of the Eiger mountain as your guide teaches you how to ski on the Bodmi beginner’s slope.

2. Kayaking 🚣🏾
Escape the crowded ski slopes, grab a kayak and feel the magic of winter kayaking.

After a brief introduction to kayaking, put on a top-quality dry suit and boots to keep you extra warm on the water. Then head out for 2 hours of paddling through the winter wonderland of Lake Brienz.

If you’re looking for an adrenaline-rush and you love going fast, you’ll absolutely love Night Sledding. it might seem a little scary at first but as soon as you start going.. YOU’RE GOIN
This trip exceeded my expectations! In the USA sledding is for children but not in Switzerland, these sleds went fast! We had a blast going down the mountain and the view at night was amazing! Enjoyed the fondue experience at a famous interlaken restaurant. Highly recommend.
Enjoy a panoramic view of the starlit expanse of the Swiss night sky and take wonderful snapshots of it.
