The first thing we did when we arrived in Interaken, or maybe the second, as we did check into the hotel, was to stretch our legs, and have a walk around the town. For the first time on a visit we didn’t need coats, hats or scarves, we normally have to wrap up warm. The weather was about 26 degrees and the sky was full of paragliders, normally we only see a few, this visit they were flying thick and fast (and no I did’t go up). We stopped, had a coffee and then sat in the park so I could take some photos and just enjoyed the beautiful views of the mountains in the back ground. Next stop is Interlaken Monsastery and Castle, which, somehow I missed on our other visits.
Echoes of the Past 
I marvelled at the paragliders. Great way to get a birdseye view of the alps, but don’t know that I would want to do it.
No, I just enjoy watching, going up on the train gives you a great birds eye view and less dangerous 🙂
We always backed out of the Paragliders. But we used to love watching them land in front of the Victoria Hotel.
Oh that is such a beautiful old hotel, would have loved to have stayed there 🙂 No I was just quite happy to take photos from ground level 🙂
Love how they adorned the horses! Those mountains are always so impressive, the snow ,mist and trees made a wonderful photo!
Thank you, the park is right in the town centre and it can never be built on, which means you will always be able to see the mountains. It has a lovely feeling even when there are a lot of people around 🙂
Beautiful photos of a beautiful place, Lynne. On our way to Genoa we drove through Switzerland and had a coffee stop in Lugano. Such a beautiful country!
Thank you Marcus, It is as you say a beautiful country, but then I like Bavaria as well 🙂
