Featuring over 100 authentic buildings from Switzerland's rich rural tradition, Open-Air Museum Ballenberg offers visitors a glimpse into the social and cultural history of the nation. Open since 1978, the museum represents some of the most important and typical forms of houses, farmsteads, and settlements in Switzerland. This large open-air museum also features displays of traditional craftsmanship including cheesemaking and bread baking, as well as a wide range of local farm animals (including some rare species).
In the heart of the Swiss Alps, Grindelwald serves as the perfect base for captivating day trips. Nature enthusiasts can explore the pristine beauty of Bachalpsee Lake and a brief drive to Interlaken opens the door to historical charm.
If Interlaken had a king, he would reside on the Harder Kulm. However, you don't need to be a king to get to the top – just take a seat in the funicular and ascend Interlaken's own mountain.
Located close to Interlaken in the Bernese Alps, Harder Kulm offers visitors an incredible view from the lookout platform at 1,322 metres above sea level, with Unterseen, Interlaken, Lake Brienz and Lake Thun below, and peaks of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau above.
