Introduction
Saxeten is a tiny Alpine hamlet tucked into a side valley west of Interlaken, home to a few hundred people, its chalets and chapel scattered across green slopes threaded by a mountain stream. It offers Swiss countryside at its most tranquil: paths behind the village climb to pastures and woods, spring and summer carpet the hillsides with wildflowers, and in the colder months snowpeaks and seas of cloud fill the view. The valley is known for gorge canyoning and hiking, and paragliders launch from nearby ridges. Only about twenty minutes by road from Interlaken, it stays blissfully free of tourist bustle, ideal for a half-day of walking and doing nothing at all.
