INTERLAKEN FALL 2013
What's On
The
glowing skies of autumn and the first days of winter in Interlaken are
upon us. Gather a new perspective from above the valley on a hike
with an expert guide,
where the stunning region between the lakes - Lake Thun and Lake Brienz
will open before your eyes and the folklore performers of winter festivals
prepare for the festive season.
Spectacular New Views - Stockhorn
A newly opened glass bottom viewing platform on the Stockhorn Mountain
allows a breathtaking sweeping sweep vantage across Lake Thun, the Aare
River valley and the Swiss central lands as far as the Jura Mountains
and on clear days all the way to the southern Black Forest. The see-through
glass floor lets your gaze drop straight down into the rocky chasm. A
tunnel leads from the mountain station Panorama Restaurant through the
rock to the platform in the north face of the Stockhorn.
Folklore Groups – A Peek Backstage
In Interlaken, yodelling choirs and national-costume groups, are a familiar
part of any fall festivals. Hearing the voices in perfect harmony and
watching the
dancers’ intricate and nimble foot moves the amount of practice and rehearsal
needed for these folkloric artists comes to mind. But you needn’t wait
for a festival to experience the singers, dancers, flag throwers and alphorn
players. From September to November, visitors are invited to attend the rehearsals
for a backstage look.
Kunstnacht Brienz (Art Night in Brienz ) November 2, 2013
The Brienz Rothorn Railway depot, a short scenic train ride from Interlaken Ost,
turns from rail station to art gallery when cultural creativity takes the spotlight
in Brienz during the Kunstnacht. The local cinema screens art films and the woodworking
and carving workshops are on display enhanced by musical performances of a mix
of modern and traditional music.
Touch the Mountains, New Years Day , January 1, 2014
On the day after the traditional New Year’s Eve festivities, Interlaken
likes to put on yet another starburst display with an open-air music concert,
while all along the Interlaken promenade, various folklore groups, bell ringers
and other holiday performers drum up an entertaining atmosphere, lit up by spectacular
firework display. A great way to start the Swiss New Year.
