Interlaken – Swiss action between lakes and Alps

Interlaken is spectacularly located in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, nestled between the emerald-green alpine lakes of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz and surrounded by some of Switzerland's most iconic mountain peaks. The town is internationally renowned as one of Europe’s leading centers for adventure tourism, especially paragliding, with flights from Harder Kulm offering uninterrupted panoramic views towards Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger. The area also offers canyoning in narrow gorges, whitewater rafting on the Lütschine River, and a dense network of hiking trails that lead through alpine meadows, waterfalls, and high-altitude viewpoints. Interlaken also serves as an ideal transportation hub with precise train connections to Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe – as well as to the postcard-perfect valleys and villages of Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, and Wengen. The combination of dramatic scenery, well-organized infrastructure, and authentic Swiss alpine culture makes Interlaken a destination that appeals to both active travelers and nature lovers year-round.
