Return to Interlaken and get ready for the next romantic day at leisure. Enjoy some of the beautiful winter walks around or join the free walking tour of Interlaken (Mon, Wed or Sat). The early evening pick-up from your hotel by minibus will take you from Interlaken high into the Swiss Alps. Have fun in the starlit winter panorama before riding down the 1 hour sledge run. Along the way the trail winds through woods, crosses alpine meadows and passes majestic frozen waterfalls. The sledge run finishes at a small local restaurant for a traditional Swiss cheese fondue dinner. Return to Interlaken for the last night in this resort.
