Interlaken

The best a panoramic view of the region is from the viewing platform on Harder Kulm, Interlaken's local mountain. In just 15 minutes, the cable car whisks you up to the 1,322-metre summit, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the two lakes and the iconic peaks of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. 

Interlaken is an ideal starting point for a trip to the Jungfraujoch. Even the journey to the world-famous Jungfraujoch "Top of Europe" at 3,454 m is a highlight. Once at the top, a multifaceted world of adventure awaits you with a tour of the Ice Palace, a multimedia adventure tour and a 360° cinema experience. From the Sphinx Terrace, you can enjoy a spectacular view of imposing mountain peaks and the Aletsch Glacier.

Interlaken Ost Bahnhof serves as the starting point for your trip to the Jungfraujoch. The journey to the world-renowned "Top of Europe" at an elevation of 3,454 metres is an adventure in itself. Upon reaching the summit, you’ll find a diverse range of experiences awaiting you including a tour of the Ice Palace, an immersive multimedia adventure and a 360° cinema experience. From the Sphinx Terrace, you can admire spectacular views of neighbouring mountain peaks and the Aletsch Glacier.

An impressive panorama also awaits you at Piz Gloria, the revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn. Here, you’ll be treated to an indescribably breathtaking view of the UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, along with another 200 mountain peaks. Another highlight is "Spy World," an interactive exhibition dedicated to the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, two-thirds of which was filmed in the region.

Interlaken's unique position between two stunning lakes is what truly sets it apart. Enjoy a leisurely boat trip on the deep blue waters of Lake Thun or the turquoise hues of Lake Brienz, where you can contemplate at the mountains of the Bernese Oberland
