About this audio guide
This guide to the Höheweg in Interlaken looks across the open meadow beside it, the Höhematte, and at the hoteliers who bought it in eighteen sixty-four. You'll meet Peter Ober, an Alsatian tutor turned tourism pioneer, and Eduard Ruchti of the Victoria, in the decades when British visitors made the town an English colony. It turns on a pair of tennis courts and a dispute with the canton of Bern. Best heard on the promenade, facing the grass and the Jungfrau beyond.
