Get active in the adventure capital of Europe - Interlaken
Interlaken sets you up for adventure, walking and sightseeing as you’re at the gateway of the Jungfrau Mountains, surrounded by stunning blue lakes and the impressive snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Oberland. Take a boat cruise on Lake Thun or Brienz, visit the nearby Giessbach waterfalls or head up to the Harder Kulm for the best views over Interlaken and the spectacular mountains in the distance – this is a great spot for sunset.
Our top tips for your time in Interlaken:
Head high into the mountains on the Brienzer Rothorn steam cog railway or take a nostalgic trip up the Schynige Platte (open from 1 July) from Wilderswil for fantastic views and many great walks.
Take a trip to the Top-of-Europe - the Jungfraujoch - for remarkable views of the longest glacier in the Alps, the Aletsch, and surrounding mountains of the Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönch, plus take a trip inside the glacier at the ice palace. Even the journey there is impressive, with routes via either Grindelwald and the Eiger Express cable car, which whizzes you up the mountain beneath the north face of the Eiger. Or travel via Wengen, with spectacular views of the Lauterbrunnen valley – we recommend travelling there one way and back the other to really make the most of the scenery.
Have a prosecco brunch at the Schilthorn above the picturesque car-free town of Mürren – the views up here are really impressive and you can enjoy them from the revolving restaurant, prosecco in-hand. Further down the mountain, the thrill walk at Birg offers the perfect photo opportunity and the quiet villages of Mürren and Gimmelwald are lovely to stroll around.
Adventure lovers will find plenty to do in Interlaken, from speed-boat trips to white water rafting or canyoning. If you’re after a calmer trip out on the water, relax and enjoy a lunchtime boat cruise or hire a paddleboard or kayak for the afternoon.
