About Travel to Interlaken
Interlaken is well connected by train from Zurich, Geneva, and Bern; the journey through the Alps is part of the experience. Summer is ideal for hiking, paragliding, and lake activities; winter draws skiers and snow enthusiasts. The Swiss Travel Pass or regional passes cover trains, boats, and many cable cars. Book Jungfraujoch, Schilthorn, and adventure activities in advance. Use Interlaken as a base for Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, and the Jungfrau region. Pack layers and good shoes—weather in the mountains can change quickly.
