Interlachen has a great advantage in its beautiful setting.....between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz.....and convenient location for Switzerland Travel to many areas of the country.
My husband and I spent our honeymoon here....there we are above 20 years later! The busy train station and central location make it a perfect base for Switzerland Vacations.
You can take longer day trips on Swiss Rail traveling to the many beautiful places to visit in Switzerland.
My husband and I had a Swiss Pass and used the included train, bus and boat to see many Switzerland attractions.
Here are some of the side trips we took:
Circle trip (see below) in the Jungfrau Region
Thun
Luzern
Montreux
Bern
Evolene - overnight trip in the rugged Val d' Herens
Boat ride on Lake Thun
We also took some Swiss Hikes in the mountains near Interlachen, taking the chair lift up and hiking down.
Switzerland Holidays
Interlachen is the place for your Holiday in Switzerland if you want a larger town with more shopping, hotels, restaurants and a great central location for your Switzerland Travel.
Make sure and take side trips to nearby Lauterbrunnen (right) and Murren. These two towns, in my opinion, should not be missed. More information can be found below and on my separate pages.
I would recommend the following circle trip using Swiss Rail. Take the Swiss train to Grindelwald and enjoy its setting at the foot of the Eiger.
Then on to Kleine Scheidegg, a tiny resting stop....where you can take a special train to Jungfrajoch, the highest train station in Europe.
A word of warning...this side trip to Jungfrajoch is very expensive. Don't go if it is not a clear day.
Then on to the car less town of Wengen and down the mountainside to Lauterbrunnen and back. Both of these towns are worth a stop just for the sheer majesty of their scenic beauty and spectacular settings.
Another must-do trip starts in Lauterbrunnen. Take the tram from town up the mountainside.
Hop the train that takes you across the mountain edge to car less Murren (right) and its breathtakingly beautiful setting on the edge of the mountain.
Have a coffee or maybe a picnic on the mountainside and drink in the fantastic views of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau.
Then, take the tram up the Schilthorn (right), where you will feel like you are on "top of the world"!

There are many hotels to choose from in Interlachen, from very elegant, deluxe hotels to smaller Inns.
