Why Visit Interlaken
The Jungfraujoch — "Top of Europe" at 3,454 m — is reached by a scenic cogwheel railway from Interlaken, offering views across glaciers and the Aletsch, Europe's longest glacier.
Interlaken is a hub for alpine adventures including paragliding above the valley, white-water rafting on the Lütschine river, and hiking the Schynige Platte trail.
Two glistening lakes — Thun to the west and Brienz to the east — frame the town, with regular boat services to charming lakeside castles and waterfalls.
