Interlaken – Swiss Action Between Lakes

Interlaken is spectacularly located between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, surrounded by the steep peaks of the Bernese Oberland, including Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The town’s unique location makes it a natural hub for experiences in the Swiss Alps. Interlaken is internationally known as Switzerland’s adventure capital, where paragliding from the mountain slopes at Beatenberg offers panoramic views of turquoise lakes, alpine meadows, and snow-covered glaciers. The area also offers canyoning in narrow gorges with powerful waterfalls, particularly in the Saxeten and Grimsel areas, which rank among the most challenging in the country. At the same time, Interlaken is a starting point for some of Europe’s most famous mountain railways. The Jungfrau Railway takes travelers to Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe – with Europe’s highest railway station at over 3,400 meters. The efficient Swiss infrastructure makes it easy to combine an active holiday with comfort, whether exploring the highlands, sailing on the lakes, or strolling through the town’s green promenades. Interlaken combines dramatic nature, technical perfection, and authentic alpine culture, making the destination appealing to both adventurous travelers and those seeking magnificent landscapes at a leisurely pace.
