Legendary sun terraces for aperitifs – Part 2

Sun terrace time

There’s noth­ing bet­ter than enjoy­ing an aper­i­tif after a long day of hik­ing or swim­ming. It pro­vides the per­fect set­ting to reflect on your expe­ri­ences and cel­e­brate life. In this post we present our sum­mer favourites at the youth hos­tels.

1. The idyl­lic choice

The sun ter­race at Brienz Youth Hos­tel is just a few steps from the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz. Here you can alter­nate between sip­ping an aper­i­tif and tak­ing a refresh­ing dip in the water. Help your­self to snacks and drinks at the self-kiosk. Tru­ly a lit­tle sum­mer oasis between moun­tain peaks in the Bernese Ober­land.

2. The bloom­ing choice

A vis­it to Kreu­zlin­gen Youth Hos­tel is quite the expe­ri­ence. The hos­tel is housed in an old vil­la exud­ing tons of charm. And of course there’s a large gar­den with lots of green­ery where you can enjoy a leisure­ly aper­i­tif on the sun ter­race, with birds singing all around.

3. The styl­ish choice

High up, very close to the impos­ing moun­tain peaks, is the chic sun ter­race of wellnessHostels4000 in Saas-Fee. Despite the alti­tude, it can get pleas­ant­ly warm up there, as the ter­race is locat­ed right in front of the hos­tel, shel­tered from the wind. At Bistro4000, you can treat your­self to deli­cious snacks and fresh­ly baked cakes before or after your hike – or just because 😉.

4. The impres­sive choice

Moun­tains as far as the eye can see: This is the view from the sun ter­race at Grindel­wald Youth Hos­tel. The famous north face of the Eiger is a real eye-catch­er and is best admired with a drink in your hand. And if you want to expe­ri­ence the moun­tains even more inten­sive­ly, there are plen­ty of excur­sions to choose from in the des­ti­na­tion, includ­ing the spec­tac­u­lar First Cliff Walk.

5. The pul­sat­ing choice

Between Lakes Brienz and Thun, the sun ter­race of Inter­lak­en Youth Hos­tel awaits you. Whether for your first cof­fee ear­ly in the morn­ing or after an active day in the region, Restau­rant Youm­mi 3a next to Inter­lak­en Ost rail­way sta­tion is the place to meet right in the heart of the action. Out­side under the shady trees, you can watch the live­ly hus­tle and bus­tle and linger for a while. How about a tasty plat­ter with your aper­i­tif?
