Interlaken, Switzerland




Interlaken is a small town in the middle of the Alps full of adventurous activities. I was able to go canyoning and para-gliding. Canyoning was great fun that involved wading through a river, jumping off rocks/cliffs into the river, and sliding down the rocks. We also jumped off the top of a waterfall that was about 9 meters tall.
Paragliding was awesome too. It was a smooth ride above the mountains. We were able to catch the right thermals that allowed us to soar even higher than the height where we ran off the mountain. My guide was pretty cool and did some tricks as we were nearing the land including what he called a downward spiral.
