Interlaken
Interlaken (town) – located 90 minutes (118 km) southeast of Zürich, Interlaken got its name due to its location between lakes Thun and Brienz in central Switzerland. The area around Interlaken presents a wide variety of attractions and activities, both during winter and summer. The nearby mountains attract climbers and hikers during the Summer, and during the Winter skiers and snowboarders. But also more relaxed mountain excursions are very popular to enjoy great views of the valleys and Alpine peaks from the summits. Interlaken also is ideally situated to undertake daily excursions to other cities such as Lucerne, Bern or Thun.
Of course, the town of Interlaken offers numerous options to spend a couple of days – don’t miss strolling along the famous “Höheweg” promenade that links the urban center of Interlaken West with the much more scattered Interlaken East. It also offers superb views of the Jungfrau mountain range.
