Is this the most beautiful village in Switzerland? Many say yes—and after visiting Iseltwald, I can see why. Tucked away on the shores of Lake Brienz and surrounded by the Alps, this quiet village is like something out of a storybook.
In this video, I take you along on a day trip from Interlaken to Iseltwald during late March. It’s the tail end of winter, but the skies cleared just long enough for a perfect day of exploring. From iconic views and a peaceful village walk to a scenic hike to Giessbach Falls, this spot might just be Switzerland’s best-kept secret.

📸 Equipment
(*Note that I value lightweight, compact and budget friendly options because of the type of travels I normally do)
* iPhone 15 Pro Max - amzn.to/3SKEOPR
I have moved over to the iPhone for most of the ground footage - it actually takes amazing videos and my phone is always close by.
* DJI Mini 4 Pro - amzn.to/3W8MVI5
I absolutely love this drone - it’s small, compact and provides amazing footage.
* GoPro - amzn.to/3W88ok9
I still use the GoPro for the ‘on the go’ shots. It has great stablization, battery life and video quality.
