Discover Interlaken

Interlaken isn't just a town; it's a launchpad for Alpine dreams. Wedged between the turquoise waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, its entire existence is framed by the staggering triumvirate of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. This geography dictates life here, where the morning commute might be a paragliding flight from Beatenberg and the afternoon journey is a century-old cogwheel train climbing to the icy, otherworldly plateau of Jungfraujoch.

Beyond the adrenaline, Interlaken is a masterclass in Swiss efficiency and charm. The Höheweg promenade, lined with grand hotels and flower gardens, offers a genteel contrast to the rugged mountains. It’s a place where you can savor a fondue while watching BASE jumpers float down to the grassy Höhematte park, a unique juxtaposition of serene tradition and heart-pounding adventure that defines this iconic destination.

Why Visit Interlaken?

1

Unrivaled Alpine Access: Ride the historic Jungfrau Railway to the 'Top of Europe' at Jungfraujoch, Europe's highest railway station, for year-round snow and panoramic views. Take the cable car to Schilthorn for the 360° Piz Gloria revolving restaurant, famed from the James Bond film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'.

2

Adventure Capital: Experience world-class paragliding from Beatenberg or Niederhorn, landing softly on the Höhematte. Go canyoning in the Saxeten Gorge, skydiving over the lakes, or bungee jumping from the Stockhorn. In winter, ski the vast Jungfrau Region slopes accessible from Grindelwald and Wengen.

3

Stunning Lake & Mountain Vistas: Ascend the Harder Kulm funicular for the iconic 'Two Lakes Bridge' view over Interlaken and both lakes. Cruise on a historic paddle steamer on Lake Brienz to the Giessbach Falls or take the scenic train to Lauterbrunnen Valley, home to 72 waterfalls.

4

Impeccable Swiss Transport Hub: Interlaken is the central node for the Bernese Oberland's legendary transport network. Experience engineering marvels like the steep cogwheel train to Schynige Platte, the modern cable car to Grindelwald First, and the nostalgic Brienz Rothorn steam train.

5

Year-Round Scenic Beauty: Summer offers hiking through wildflower meadows at Männlichen and boating on emerald lakes. Autumn transforms the landscape with golden larch trees. Winter brings magical Christmas markets and access to ski resorts, while spring sees blooming gardens and rushing waterfalls.

6

Charming Swiss Town Atmosphere: Stroll the Höheweg, visit the 14th-century Unterseen old town across the Aare River, and enjoy traditional music and yodeling at local festivals. The town perfectly blends its Victorian-era tourist heritage with authentic local culture.

Local Tips & Insider Knowledge

  • •Buy a Jungfrau Travel Pass for unlimited travel on trains, buses, boats, and most cable cars in the region for 3-8 days. It offers massive savings compared to individual tickets to places like Jungfraujoch.
  • •For the best Jungfraujoch experience, take the very first train in the morning (around 7-8 AM from Interlaken Ost) to beat the crowds and have the clearest skies.
  • •The Harder Kulm funicular is free with a Swiss Travel Pass, but go late afternoon for sunset views and fewer tourists. The restaurant at the top is a great spot to wait for the lights of the town to come on.
  • •Skip the expensive hotels for lunch; head to a local Migros or Coop supermarket for delicious and affordable pre-made sandwiches, salads, and Swiss chocolate for a picnic by the river or lake.
  • •If paragliding is on your list, book directly with a local operator (like Skywings or Paragliding Interlaken) for potentially better prices than through your hotel. Morning flights often have calmer winds.
  • •Visit the St. Beatus Caves on Lake Thun. While known, they're often less crowded than other attractions and feature impressive limestone formations, waterfalls, and a museum, all with stunning lake views.
  • •For a unique free activity, walk the 1.5-hour signed path along the Aare River from Interlaken to the stunning turquoise waters of the Weissenau Nature Reserve, a local favorite swimming spot.
  • •In summer, take the local bus (#103) to Iseltwald on Lake Brienz. It's a tiny, gorgeous fishing village with a famous pier (from the K-drama 'Crash Landing on You') that's quieter than the main towns.
  • •Always carry some Swiss Francs (CHF) in cash. While cards are widely accepted, smaller kiosks, mountain huts, and public toilets often require coins.
  • •Check the live webcams for Jungfraujoch, Schilthorn, and other peaks on the Jungfrau Region website before you go. If it's cloudy at the top, it's not worth the high price—opt for a lower-altitude hike or lake cruise instead.

Interlaken Food Scene

Interlaken's food scene blends hearty Alpine classics with international influences catering to its global visitors. Expect rich, comforting dishes like cheese fondue and rösti, often enjoyed in rustic wood-paneled stübli (traditional pubs) or with million-dollar mountain views from terrace restaurants.

Must-Try Dishes

Cheese Fondue
Rösti (shredded potato pancake)
Älplermagronen (Alpine macaroni)
Berner Platte (Bernese meat platter)
Swiss Chocolate
Rivella (Swiss soft drink)

Traditional Swiss

  • • Fondue at Restaurant Schuh
  • • Rösti at Goldener Anker
  • • Berner Platte at Hotel Oberland

Fondue is typically a dinner dish. Don't drink cold water with it—opt for white wine or herbal tea to aid digestion.

Mountain View Dining

  • • Piz Gloria at Schilthorn
  • • Restaurant Harder Kulm
  • • Bergrestaurant Männlichen

Always reserve a window table in advance, especially for sunset. Menus are pricier but the views are part of the experience.

Casual & International

  • • Pizza at Hüsi Bierhaus
  • • Burgers at Johnny's Pub
  • • Asian at Sapori

The Hüsi Bierhaus has a great local atmosphere and a large outdoor seating area perfect for people-watching on the main street.

Sweet Treats & Bakeries

  • • Pastries at Backerei-Konditorei Schuh
  • • Ice cream at Gelateria di Berna
  • • Swiss chocolate from any local Coop/Migros

For the best local breakfast, grab a fresh 'Gipfeli' (croissant) and a coffee from a bakery rather than paying hotel prices.

Interlaken Hidden Gems

Weissenau Nature Reserve

A protected delta where the Aare River meets Lake Thun, known for its stunning, milky-turquoise glacial waters and peaceful walking paths.

It's a serene, less-visited spot perfect for a picnic or a swim away from the crowds, with incredible colors that rival famous glacial lakes.

Justistal Valley & Lake

A remote, high Alpine valley above Sigriswil on Lake Thun, accessible by a narrow, thrilling mountain road (or a long hike), leading to a small, pristine mountain lake.

It feels like stepping into a secret, untouched Alpine world with grazing cows, traditional chalets, and absolute peace, offering a true off-the-beaten-path experience.

Rugen Gorge (Rugenschlucht)

A short, dramatic gorge walk starting near Wilderswil, featuring wooden walkways clinging to cliffs alongside a rushing turquoise river.

It's an easy, inexpensive (small fee), and spectacular 30-minute walk that most tourists miss, offering a taste of canyoning scenery without the gear or guide.

Oberhofen Castle Gardens

The stunning lakeside gardens of the fairy-tale Oberhofen Castle on Lake Thun, featuring exotic trees, vibrant flower beds, and direct lake access.

While the castle is known, the gardens are often overlooked. They provide a tranquil, beautifully manicured escape with one of the best photo spots on the lake.

Balmers Herberge Tent Village

Not just a hostel, but a unique summer-only tent village and igloo bar in the garden of the famous Balmers Hostel.

It offers a fun, communal, and affordable accommodation experience with a great social atmosphere that's unique to Interlaken, popular with younger travelers.

Interlaken Culture & Customs

Interlaken's culture is a blend of traditional Bernese Oberland farming heritage and a modern, international adventure tourism hub. Respect for nature, precision, and quiet efficiency are key. Sundays are still largely reserved for family and rest, with most shops closed.

Cultural Etiquette

  • •Greet shopkeepers with 'Grüezi' (hello) when entering and 'Adieu' (goodbye) when leaving.
  • •Be punctual for tours, trains, and restaurant reservations—Swiss time is precise.
  • •Keep noise levels down, especially in residential areas and on public transport after 10 PM.
  • •Always separate your recycling; it's taken very seriously.
  • •When hiking, greet fellow walkers with a friendly 'Grüezi' or 'Hoi'.

Useful Phrases

Grüezi - Hello (formal)(GROO-et-see)
Merci Vilmal - Thank you very much (Swiss German)(MER-see FEEL-mahl)
En Guete - Enjoy your meal(en GOO-teh)
Wo isch...? - Where is...?(Vo ish...?)

Frequently Asked Questions about Interlaken

Is Interlaken worth visiting if I don't like adventure sports?

Absolutely. Beyond adrenaline, Interlaken is a premier hub for breathtaking scenic train rides, leisurely lake cruises, world-class hiking for all levels, charming village exploration, and simply relaxing amidst some of the planet's most iconic mountain vistas. The beauty is accessible to everyone.

How many days do I need in Interlaken?

A minimum of 3 full days is recommended. Dedicate one day for a major mountain excursion (e.g., Jungfraujoch or Schilthorn), one for adventure or lake activities, and one for exploring the town and a shorter trip like Lauterbrunnen Valley. A week allows you to fully explore the region.

Is Jungfraujoch worth the high price?

It depends on weather and personal interest. On a clear day, the views from the highest railway station in Europe and the Ice Palace are unforgettable and unique. If the summit is cloudy, it's not worth it. Always check the live webcams before purchasing tickets. Consider cheaper alternatives like Schilthorn for similar high-Alpine views.

Can I visit Interlaken without a car?

Yes, and it's highly recommended. Interlaken's public transport is exceptional. Trains, buses, boats, and cable cars connect everything seamlessly. A car is more of a hassle due to limited parking, high costs, and the fact that many top villages like Mürren and Wengen are car-free.

What is the best way to get from Interlaken to Zermatt?

The scenic train journey via the Lötschberg Base Tunnel is the best option. It takes about 2.5 hours with a change in Visp. The route is fully covered by the Swiss Travel Pass. There is no direct road as you must go around the mountains, making the train faster and more relaxing.

Is Interlaken good for skiing?

Interlaken itself is not a ski resort, but it's a perfect base for accessing the massive Jungfrau Region ski areas (over 200 km of slopes) in Grindelwald, Wengen, and Mürren. You can take a train or bus to the ski lifts within 30-60 minutes. It offers more variety and après-ski options than staying in a single resort village.

Do I need to speak German?

No. While the local language is Swiss German, English is widely spoken in all tourist areas, hotels, restaurants, and at attractions. Learning a few basic greetings like 'Grüezi' (hello) and 'Merci' (thanks) is appreciated but not necessary for communication.

When is the best time to see the Alps with the least snow?

For hiking on high trails with minimal snow, aim for late July through September. By mid-July, most snow has melted from popular hiking paths like the North Face Trail or the hike to Bachalpsee. Early June can still have significant snow patches at higher elevations.
