This is Interlaken

Discover Interlaken

Start your city tour at Bahnhofstrasse, then cross the River Aare and head into the old town and on toward Höheweg, the shopping promenade with plenty of Swiss charm. Set up a picnic on the Höhematte and watch the paragliders with the Jungfrau massif in the background. Local mountain Harder, on the other hand, gives you a bird’s-eye view of Interlaken and the unparalleled surrounding mountain landscape.

Lakes Thun and Brienz

The location between two of the most beautiful lakes in Switzerland is what makes Interlaken so special. Explore the lakes on a boat trip against a magnificent backdrop. Stop off at the Giessbach Falls, the St. Beatus Caves or in Iseltwald, Brienz or Thun. Book a guided kayak tour or a high-speed Jetboat ride and treat yourself to a picnic by the water at sunset. Or make yourself comfortable in the Hot Tug, a floating hot water pool.
