Accommodations

Ferienheim Beatenberg
The Burgdorf school district runs this hostel, which is by the Hohwald ski lift in nearby Waldegg. Translate with Google.

Haus Hubelhuus
If you're hosting a group, you might inquire about renting this house from the YWCA/YMCA's outpost in Interlaken. In German; translate with AltaVista.

Paragliding

Gliding Stones
Glide from the Niederhorn or another peak in the region with Urs, Pädu, Stony, or Hansruedi. Most prices include a funicular or cablecar ticket.

Paragliding Interlaken
Beatenberg and the Niederhorn are two of this firm's jumping-off points. Excursions last 1-1/4 to 2 hours, and one--the "Funny"--takes you over Lake Thun.

Camp

Computer & Ferien Camp
If your children speak German or are willing to fake it, let them enjoy a "computer and vacation camp" in Beatenberg. (The Web site was being reworked the last time I checked, but you can e-mail the management in Zürich for a brochure.) In German; translate with AltaVista.
