Interlaken

Interlaken, the paradise for extreme outdoor sports, is situated at the heart of Swiss Alps. As the name implies, the town is between two lakes, Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. From there, one can easily choose skydiving, paragliding, zorbing (google it if you don't know what it is), white-water rafting, rock climbing, and of course, skiing and snowboarding. It's a heaven if you have $$$ !

Other than those sports, Interlaken is the transport hub to many Alps destinations, including Jungfraujoch, the highest train station in the world !





Weeeee, paragliding over Interlaken



the canal connects the two lakes


did I look worried?


paragliding is not difficult; all you have to do is to scream and run as fast as you can... and hopefully the parachute will open :)

paragliding over the Alps, what in life can be better? 

cogwheel, helps train to climb steep slopes.

What's next?
