Interlaken – Swiss Extreme Sports in the Alps

Interlaken is dramatically situated between the deep blue waters of Lake Thun and the turquoise hues of Lake Brienz in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, serving as the gateway to some of Switzerland's most iconic alpine landscapes. The city is internationally renowned as a hub for extreme sports, featuring paragliding from Harder Kulm, where you soar over valleys, lakes, and snow-capped peaks, as well as canyoning through steep gorges shaped by meltwater and waterfalls. The region also offers exceptional hiking routes with views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massif. A must-see highlight is the Jungfrau Railway journey to Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe – Europe’s highest railway station at 3,454 meters above sea level, where glaciers, ice palaces, and panoramic views of the Aletsch Glacier await. Interlaken combines Swiss precision, comfortable hotels, and efficient infrastructure with raw, untamed nature, making it an ideal destination for both adventurous travelers and those seeking unforgettable alpine vistas and world-class experiences.
