Overview
Take a Trip to Interlaken on Your Switzerland Vacation
Interlaken is a picturesque resort town in Switzerland between the turquoise waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, surrounded by the magnificent peaks of the Swiss Alps. The town is known for its spectacular mountain scenery, fresh alpine air, and relaxed atmosphere, with inviting cafés, traditional restaurants, boutique shops, and scenic walking paths. One of Interlaken's most unforgettable views is of the snow-covered Jungfrau summit of the Bernese Alps from the central Höhematte park.
Interlaken is also one of Switzerland’s leading destinations for outdoor adventure. There are plenty of opportunities for hiking, paragliding, kayaking, skiing and scenic boat cruises. The Harder Kulm funicular carries visitors to a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the town, its two lakes, and the surrounding mountains. Nearby, the charming villages of Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, and Mürren boast beautiful waterfalls, alpine trails, and other breathtaking landscapes. Interlaken is an ideal base for discovering the Bernese Oberland's iconic scenery and outdoor experiences.
