Thun

Most people go to Interlaken where the 2 lakes of Thunersee and Brienzersee meet. But in reality the 2 towns at the other ends of the lakes have much more charm.

Thunersee

Gruyère

A perfectly preserved picturesque village with a cobblestone street leading up to the castle at the top of the rocky crag. At the bottom of the hill is a diary where all sorts of cheeses are available, obviously notwithstanding the local product, which comes in 5 stages of maturity.

Bellinzona

More scenery. Castles. A beautiful lake. We stayed on a farm, should do that more often.
