Interlaken – Switzerland's Action Hub

Interlaken is renowned as Switzerland's ultimate action hub, spectacularly located between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz in the heart of the Bernese Oberland. Surrounded by iconic Alpine peaks like Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, the town serves as a base for some of Europe's most sought-after outdoor experiences. Paragliding from the mountain slopes near Beatenberg and Harder Kulm offers a dramatic bird's-eye view of turquoise lakes, green valleys, and snow-capped peaks. Canyoning in nearby gorges combines waterfalls, natural slides, and cliff jumps into crystal-clear meltwater, making it one of the region's signature experiences. Hiking also plays a central role, with access to everything from easy trails along the lakes to high alpine routes in the Jungfrau region. With direct train connections to Jungfraujoch – Europe's Top – it’s easy to reach an altitude of 3,454 meters for panoramic views of the Aletsch Glacier. Interlaken balances adrenaline-filled adventures with Swiss charm, offering cozy cafés and classic hotels, making it an ideal destination for both active travelers and nature enthusiasts.
