Worth every penny. Amazing views. The pilot was friendly. However, you should arrive at the company before your booked time. I went to the meeting point but there was no one there and no sign – almost missed it! But the company is very close to the meeting point and that wasn't a problem, it's something that can happen. Everything happened very quickly, no time wasted. recommend photos + videos it's cool!

If u go to Interlaken, you got to try paraglyding. I swear, it will be one of your unforgettables. Thanks to my Pilot, Kristoff, he is so professional, friendly and knows how to calm your fear.

My husband had a wonderful experience with tandem paragliding. His pilot was very experienced, and all safety protocols were followed. He felt safe and mesmerized with Interlaken, which is the most beautiful place to paraglide, as you can see two lakes within the city.

The team offered to start the sessions earlier and extend it a bit more to have enough time to learn the fundamentals without feeling rushed. Thank you to our awesome ski instructor Jarrad for the patience and guidance. Definitely enjoyed the session and learned a lot.

You can use the vouchers you purchased right away. I've already used them, and there were no issues at all. You can simply show the vouchers to the train staff, ticket agents, or museum staff. It's very easy! Our only job is to make sure we get on the correct train class. 😃

a better option and more pocket friendly than the STP, especially if combined with other tickets like the gonegrat bahn zermatt or jungfrau travel pass. cannot recommend enough as travelling in swiss alone is $$$. easy to use and if conducter comes to check, just present the QR code that is provided once this ticket is purchased. thanks Klook for this offer!

if interlaken is your base to travel to the jungfrau region, get this travel pass. this pass covers more than just train rides to places like grindelwald, lauterbrunnen and even TOE Jungfraujoch (except the last monorail ride up from Eigergletscher/Kleine Scheidegg, will need to purchase separate ticket online at 50% disc). Value for money pass and you can choose the number of days pass that you want to buy. Highly recommend to purchase this pass along with Swiss Travel Half Fare card.. save a ton if you are travelventure person.

The Berner Oberland Pass was one of the best purchases for our Switzerland trip. It made traveling around the Bernese Oberland region incredibly convenient, with unlimited access to most trains, buses, boats, and mountain railways included in the pass. We were able to move easily between destinations like Interlaken, Wengen, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, and Lake Brienz without having to buy separate tickets each time. The pass saved both time and money while giving us the freedom to explore at our own pace. It removed the hassle of planning every journey and allowed us to focus on enjoying the stunning scenery. Highly recommended for anyone spending several days in the region.
