Today was a day for exploration, and Interlaken and its surrounds did not disappoint. From paragliders to the majesty of the mountains and the ice blue color of glacial streams. We saw it all today. We started off traveling by train to the small village of Lauterbrunnen before advancing by gondola and mountain train to the alpine village of Murren where the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau peaks tower before you. A couple of gondolas later, we found ourselves at the Trummelbach Falls – a series of ten waterfalls, six of which are buried inside the mountain! All the glacial melt from the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau system pour down through this main waterfall at a rate of 20,000 liters per second! It’s fast, freezing cold, and absolutely incredible. We finished off the night with our dear friends from the Fondation Guillaume team at Restaurant Harder Kulm – one of the most impressive restaurant locations we’ve ever seen. Check it out!
