More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low-slung car peels away from Interlaken's river-laced streets and follows the shoulder of Lake Brienz, mountains rising like pages of an ancient atlas. The driver-guide pauses for a photo; the peaks—Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau—hold the weather like a shrug. You move between water and stone: placid lake surfaces that mirror the sky, and the plunging curtains of Staubbach and the roar of Trümmelbach, waterfalls that seem to dare you to come closer.
