Interlaken – Alps for the Whole Family

Interlaken is beautifully situated between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz and serves as the natural starting point for adventures in the Bernese Oberland – one of Switzerland’s most famous alpine regions. The town's unique location makes it easy to combine mountain experiences, lake activities, and family-friendly adventures without long travel times. One of the highlights is the excursion to Jungfraujoch, also known as the Top of Europe, where the cogwheel train takes you up to eternal snow, an impressive ice palace, and panoramic views of the Aletsch Glacier, fascinating for both children and adults. On the clear lakes, you can enjoy relaxing boat trips with views of steep mountain sides and small idyllic villages along the shores. The area also boasts a varied network of hiking trails – from easy routes perfect for families to more challenging paths through alpine meadows, past roaring waterfalls, and with views of classic alpine peaks like Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Interlaken is renowned for its efficient Swiss infrastructure, which makes it easy to plan excursions while the town retains a laid-back atmosphere and warm hospitality. This makes the destination ideal for families looking to experience the Alps at a leisurely pace without compromising on major natural experiences.
