Interlaken

Highlight • Settlement

The holiday resort Interlaken lies between Lake Brienz and Lake Thun and nestled between the three mighty mountains Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The place is not that big at all, but it brings quite a bit of urban flair to your tour with various other localities. There are all kinds of hotels and shops, several campsites, two (intercity) train stations and even an airport. On the shore of the lake you will find a few particularly nice places for a little break. Due to its convenient location and its transport links, Interlaken is the ideal starting point for a holiday in the Bernese Oberland.

Harder Kulm Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Harder Kulm, Interlaken's "local mountain", offers you an incredible view of the surrounding lakes as well as the impressive Bernese Alps. This viewpoint on the western part of the Harder can be easily reached either by funicular or by hiking.
As soon as you get to the top, a fascinating panorama awaits you. The funicular takes you from Interlaken to the Harder Kulm in just 10 minutes and you can visit the Two Lakes Bridge. From there you have a great view of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz as well as the peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
