Interlaken – Swiss Action Between Lakes and Alps

Interlaken is dramatically positioned between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, earning its reputation as Europe’s action capital. The town serves as the natural gateway to some of Switzerland's most iconic mountain experiences, offering direct access to the Jungfrau region and its legendary peaks – Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Interlaken is especially popular for paragliding, where you can soar high above the valley with views of alpine glaciers, as well as canyoning through narrow gorges filled with icy mountain streams and waterfalls. The Jungfrau Railway is one of the destination’s top attractions, taking you up to Jungfraujoch – the highest railway station in Europe – with spectacular panoramic views along the way. In summer, the area offers world-class hiking trails, boating, and kayaking on crystal-clear lakes, while winter brings skiing and snow-covered mountain scenery. Interlaken balances adrenaline-filled activities with relaxation through charming cafes, classic hotels, and spa experiences with views of the Alps. It’s a destination where precise Swiss infrastructure meets raw natural beauty and top-notch adventure.
