"Interlaken in Lovely Green Summer" Interlaken by besbel


Interlaken Travel Guide: 593 reviews and 1,428 photos

Interlaken is a little piece of paradise in central Switzerland, located between lakes of Thun and Brienz (that's why its name comes from "in the middle of the lake").

Its population is composed by three communities: Interlaken, Matten and Unterseen. All of them are German-speaking (but most of them are also proficient in English and French).

Its impressive landscape, from which you can observe the imponent Jungfrau (the second highest mountain in the Alps), the Eiger and the Mönch, is the best invitation to get out of town and practice outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, trekking, rock climbing, bungee jumping, canyoning and others: it's up to you :)

There are two types of activities for tourists: adventure sports and non-adventure sports. For the first group, you first have to go by train from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen, in order to take the buses for the mountains. For the second one, there are the boat cruises on lakes Thun and Brienz, or the excursions around the city. You can pick one organized by Swiss agencies or one made by yourself.
