Why Go on a Tour of Interlaken

The main touristic center of the Bernese Oberland region, fascinating Interlaken has been a popular Swiss resort for about 300 years. Nestled in a narrow valley just in between the emerald waters of the Lakes Thun and Brienz and ruled by three mighty peaks (Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch), Interlaken is a real paradise for those wishing to hide from the city's bustle and crowds and to immerse into the Swiss nature at its best. 

Being the all-year-round resort, Interlaken wins traveler's hearts mainly by its fairytale natural gems. Adventure fans, mesmerized by impressive mountain scenery, may challenge themselves to climb Harder Kulm while nature enthusiasts may set off on a St. Beatus Caves exploration. The mysterious cave system provides a kilometer-long walkway with beautiful chambers and underground waterfalls and will become a nice addition to your Interlaken itinerary.

If you are searching for a moment of peace and inspiration, take your time and have a stroll to Interlaken's untouched surroundings, the Weissenau Nature Reserve, to admire the beauty of the local flora and fauna. 

However, Interlaken is considered to be primarily a resort offering a wide range of outdoor activities, skiing in particular. In fact, the place provides better rates compared to other famous Swiss resorts still having the same modern facilities needed for a great stay. In case your trip is planned for a period between June and September, apart from outstanding ski opportunities, you'll be pleased with additional sports options like kayaking, hiking, and paragliding.

Moreover, Interlaken is a perfect place for fans of true Swiss quality as here you can delight yourself with a purchase of Swiss penknives Victorinox or Wenger Swiss Army as well as the original Rolex and Swatch, and quality Swiss chocolate.
