More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a minivan outside Bern and the city gives way to ribboned lake shores and rising peaks. Lake Thun slips past the window like a cool idea; Interlaken’s rim of chalets and trainlines slides by while your guide begins with the fundamentals of Bitcoin. By the time you reach the mountain restaurant with its so-called Paradise View, the lesson has moved from theory to hands-on setup—hot wallets, Lightning Network apps, and moving small amounts between layers.
