Interlaken

The best trip if you do it the right way: skydiving, kayaking on Lake Brienz, chocolate-making, and night sledding with fondue. You’ll leave with a little less money, but a once in-a -lifetime experience.

Activities

Breakfast & Lunch

Best Eats

Attic bedroom with two single beds, pink pillows and rolled towels, wooden ceiling with skylight, small bedside table, sink, and trash bin.

Book way in advance because it always fills up. Number one place students end up staying. The nightlife bar is great if you go on a crowded weekend. Keep in mind, the living situation is not great.
