Day 7 - Interlaken, Switzerland
You'll then embark on a walking tour of Interlaken, an idyllic Swiss Alpine town, with your Program Director. There you'll explore Unterseen, an old hidden part of the town where locals live. Continue on to the 19th century Kursaal Casino and its gardens, where you can see the Flower Clock, a flat garden shaped into the figure of an iconic Swiss clock. In front of the Kursaal, stroll along the local promenade, enjoy the view of the Jungfrau mountain. You may even see para-gliders landing down in the Hohematte, a 35 acre park. This afternoon, visit Lake Brienz for an exclusive Discovery Series tour of a local woodcarving workshop. Woodcarving is one of Switzerland's heritage crafts, and this region is the heart of production for these works of art. Learn how woodcarving (and in particular, the local specialty of chip carving) became emblematic of Swiss craftwork, and meet the artisans still producing such pieces today. Tonight, visit a local Swiss family for a Home-Hosted Dinner. Always a memorable experience, these evenings provide you with an opportunity to visit a typical home and sample home-cooked food of the region. Your Swiss hosts will be delighted to tell you about their culture, and introduce you to family traditions and foods. Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner. |
