A panorama of the Jungfrau massif That's almost perfect. Just fresh air, mountain flowers, and the distant sound of cowbells. If you're lucky, you might even encounter the alpenhorn. If you still have energy left afterward and are looking for a slightly more relaxing activity, the Sunset Cruise is BLS Schiffahrt a good tip.

From station Interlaken West you just step on the Golden Pass Express, Before you know it, this luxury train meanders through mountains, past lakes and through charming villages and in two hours you will be in GstaadOkay, everyone... Most people know Gstaad from Instagram, where it looks beautiful, but in real life, it's the perfect combination of luxury and Alpine charm. So, where do you stay? Les Hauts de Gstaad Golf Hotel A true gem. The kind of place where you walk in and think: yeah, I'm going to do absolutely nothing here. Luxurious, but chill. And the best part? You literally get on the train a few minutes later and bam: you're in GstaadIf you stay in Gstaad in the evening, be sure to join us Posthotel Rössli, the village's oldest hotel, opened in 1845. It was originally built as an inn and served as a post office. Simply good food and friendly people. 

For those who are in Gstaad in September. The Züglete You have to experience it. (Really!) A day when the whole village comes alive. Farmers, their families and cows, head back down from the green summer pastures into the valley, and believe me, they don't go unnoticed. The cows are decorated like they're walking a catwalk. Flower wreaths around their horns, jingling bells echoing through the valley, and proud farmers walking alongside them like rock stars. Locals and tourists alike stand by the roadside with coffee and bratwurst. That typical Swiss coziness is everywhere, a bit quaint yet authentic, and it makes you spontaneously think: yes, this is exactly why I love Switzerland. A centuries-old tradition for the cows and for anyone who wants to join in the celebration.

Walking, hiking and cheese. (A big yes) forty minutes walk, (no climbing stress) and you have arrived at the farmhouse from family SchläppiThere you can see live how cheese is made in the most traditional Swiss way. Completely in your own way. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious meal and take the elevator back down. If you still have room left afterward, you cann you can still enjoy your own cheese fondue in the giant caquelons spread throughout the region, and for a truly unique experience, there are the giant caquelons at Schlittmoos, Vorderi Vispile, Grossi Vorschess and the Cheese cave.

If you still haven't had enough of summer after this, just take the bus or car to the Lauenensee, a beautiful mountain lake nearby. Perfect for kicking off your hiking boots, taking a dip, and relaxing by the water.
