Interlaken — literally "between the lakes" — sits unmatched between turquoise Thun and Brienz, at the feet of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.

Top Experiences

  • Jungfraujoch — Top of Europe: the continent's highest railway (3,454m) with year-round snow.
  • Höhematte: the central meadow where paragliders land all day.
  • Paragliding: Europe's paragliding capital — the flight of a lifetime over two lakes.
  • Village trips: Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen's 72 waterfalls, and car-free Mürren, all minutes away by train.

Stay 3-4 nights minimum, get the Jungfrau Travel Pass for the peaks, and book summer months far ahead.
