About Hotel Metropole

Wake up to mountain views that practically shout "good morning!" from this high-rise hotel in the centre of Interlaken. It makes a great base for exploring the Jungfrau region, whether you're heading up into the mountains for skiing, winter walks or simply soaking up those unforgettable Alpine views. Interlaken West station is around a seven-minute walk away, with regular trains connecting you to Grindelwald, Wengen and Mürren, while the local bus stops just 100m from the hotel.

After a day in the mountains, there's plenty to come back to. Warm up with a free tea or coffee in the first-floor lounge, unwind with a drink beneath the vaulted glass roof of the elegant Metro Bar, or keep those legs moving in the 24-hour fitness room. On-site restaurants make it oh-so-easy to settle in for the evening without needing to step outside again.

All 96 bedrooms make the most of the spectacular surroundings, with panoramic views across Interlaken and the snow-capped mountains beyond. When you're not exploring, you're in a great spot for discovering Interlaken itself. Wander into the centre for cafés, restaurants and shops, or hop on the Harder Kulm funicular (just over a 10-minute walk away) for sweeping views across Lake Brienz, Lake Thun and the Bernese Oberland. Whether you're here to ski, sightsee or simply enjoy a change of scenery, Interlaken makes a brilliant base for a winter escape.

Discover Interlaken

Interlaken isn’t just a destination – it’s a basecamp for high-altitude winter sports and Alpine thrills (and a destination we can’t get enough of). While Switzerland is famous for its peaks and lakes, Interlaken brings them all together in one spot. Once the snow hits, the dense forests and sleepy villages transform into a massive winter playground. Grab your winter gear and your camera – the mountains are calling, and the views are incredible.

While you won’t find chairlifts in the centre of town, that’s Interlaken’s secret weapon. Think of the village as your mountain basecamp with access to three world-class ski areas. Hop on the mountain railway and in half an hour, you're exploring the Jungfrau region’s 210km of runs. Whether you’re looking for a gentle cruise or a steep challenge, you can pick the perfect area to match your mood every single morning.

Breaking the classic ‘ski town’ mould, this resort is packed with winter activities that don’t require a lift pass. Step off the beaten path and trek through the backcountry on snowshoes or grab a paddle and kayak across the glassy waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz – you’ll see the Alps reflected in the ripples with every stroke. And if you’re feeling competitive, nothing beats racing your family down a toboggan run. If you’re looking to explore every inch of the Alps this winter, Interlaken is your key.
