Interlaken
is the captivating "capital" of Switzerland's beautiful
Bernese Oberland and a must for every Swiss visit. The small town
of Interlaken features various nice hotels and is a delightful destination
for memorable holidays and the door to the Jungfrau region. It is
surrounded by the cristal-clear lakes of Thun and Brienz, sparkling
streams, fantastic falls and by the unique Eiger, Mönch &
Jungfrau mountain range.
The
area around Interlaken presents a wide variety of attractions
and activities, both in winter and during the summer month.
Interlaken
offers spectacular views to the famous mountain trio "Eiger,
Mönch und Jungfrau" and the Bernese
Oberland. These mountains are always present from wherever you
are in Interlaken. The famous "Höheweg" promenade
that links the urban center of Interlaken West with the much more
scattered Interlaken East not only offers superbe views of the Jungfrau
summit, it is also one of the best locations in Switzerland for
souvenir and watch shopping. The life on the promenade, lined up
with street cafés is no less attractive. It is pleasant to
stroll beneath the trees, glancing at the pavillion of meteorological
instruments or the well-known floral clock in the casino gardens.
