FunnyStarSystem 7,537 Posted April 28, 2020 I suspect your gran was quite the thrill seeker as Interlaken is a big hang gliding, paragliding and wing suiting spot! You can sit at the train station and watch them all come in for a landing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can sit at the train station and watch them all come in for a landing. Sounds great, but doesn't that mean that all the seats at the station are constantly taken by bloody wing suit watchers? Except when it's cloudy. Or if the seat's under an awning, which blocks the view of the sky. Or faces away from the mountains. Actually, the more I think about it, I'm realising it's less of an issue than I initially assumed. Nice spoons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
