Select participants and date
You step off the quiet street and the Aare announces itself with a bright, fast voice—cool water hurrying between two lakes, daring you to look away. The guide points across the bridge to Unterseen, and for the next three hours the rhythm of Interlaken shifts between town and viewpoint: cobbled squares and civic stories give way to a cable car that climbs until the mountain seems to offer its shoulders as a lookout.
