About the destination

Interlaken, nestled between the emerald lakes of Thun and Brienz and framed by the snow‑capped peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, is one of Switzerland’s most spectacular alpine gateways. The town itself is compact and walkable, with a charming mix of traditional chalets, grand hotels, and lively cafés. Höhematte Park, the wide green meadow at its heart, offers postcard‑perfect views of the mountains and is often dotted with colorful paragliders drifting down from the surrounding hillsides. Outdoor enthusiasts will find Interlaken an ideal base for adventure. In summer, it’s a hub for hiking, paragliding, canyoning, rafting and mountain biking, with routes and difficulty levels suitable for both beginners and experienced thrill‑seekers. The lakes invite visitors to swim, sail, kayak, or join scenic cruises that glide past picturesque villages and medieval castles. In winter, nearby ski resorts such as Grindelwald, Wengen and Mürren are easily reachable by train or cable car, offering slopes, sledging runs and winter hiking trails. Interlaken is also the starting point for some of Switzerland’s most iconic mountain excursions. The cogwheel train to Jungfraujoch – “Top of Europe” – takes you to Europe’s highest railway station, with access to glaciers, ice sculptures, and panoramic viewing platforms. Alternatively, Harder Kulm, the local mountain, is just a short funicular ride away and rewards visitors with stunning sunset views over the lakes and the Jungfrau massif. Other popular day trips include Lauterbrunnen Valley with its 72 waterfalls and the car‑free village of Mürren. Despite its popularity with tourists, Interlaken still offers quieter corners and local flavor. Wander through Unterseen’s old town for traditional architecture and cozy restaurants, or browse local shops for Swiss watches, chocolate and handmade souvenirs. With excellent rail connections to Bern, Lucerne and beyond, Interlaken works equally well as a single destination or as a central stop on a wider Swiss itinerary.
