Interlaken Attractions And Things To Do

Nestled between the turquoise mirrors of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz with the snow-capped giants of the Jungfrau, Eiger, and Mönch rising dramatically behind, Interlaken is Switzerland’s undisputed adventure capital and one of the most stunningly located towns on Earth. Ride the iconic Jungfraujoch Railway—Europe’s highest—to the “Top of Europe” at 3,454 m for glacier walks, ice palace tunnels, and 360° views over the Aletsch Glacier, or soar above the cliffs on the Harder Kulm funicular for panoramic lake-and-mountain vistas and the thrilling Two Lakes Bridge. Hike the scenic trails around the lakes, paraglide tandem over the turquoise waters with views of the Jungfrau massif, or simply relax in the elegant Höhematte park with its flower beds and the classic Interlaken skyline of Belle Époque hotels—all in a compact, walkable town that perfectly balances alpine drama, outdoor thrills, and the warm, precise hospitality of the Bernese Oberland.

Savor creamy raclette dripping over potatoes, rich fondue with crusty bread, sweet meringues with double cream, and crisp Swiss white wines amid lake breezes, mountain reflections, and the unmistakable sense of a place where the Alps and lakes meet in perfect harmony.

Interlaken isn’t just a destination—it’s Switzerland’s most spectacular adventure gateway of twin lakes, Jungfrau magic, and timeless Alpine wonder—plan your Interlaken escape today!
