How to spend three perfect days in Interlaken

Interlaken is one of those places that are on the priority list of almost every foreign visitor. And for good reason. The town "between the lakes" is a very popular tourist destination. It is an ideal starting point for trips to the Bernese Alps and other interesting, exciting and impressive places

To help you plan your trip, we have put together this short travel guide. We give you some ideas of what you can do in Interlaken.

Tag 1: Visit Jungfraujoch - the Top of Europe

Yes, visiting Jungfraujoch is pricey. Yes, it can get crowded up there. And yes, with over 8000 mountain peaks in Switzerland, you’ll probably find a cheaper spot with a spectacular view.

But trust us: Jungfraujoch is worth every cent!

The journey up to the highest railway station in Europe will take your breath away. The route is an absolute masterpiece. Considering this steep cogwheel train was built through the Mönch massif over 100 years ago, it’s quite impressive.

Once you reach the top, you’ll be greeted by the view of the Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier in Switzerland. The highly recommended one-hour hike to the Mönchsjoch Hut will treat you to even more breathtaking high-altitude photo opportunities. And the peaceful atmosphere in the snow will keep you company all year round.

To learn more about this popular destination, we’ve put together an article with 12 tips for your first trip to Jungfraujoch.

When you get back down to the valley after your visit, we suggest taking it easy for the rest of the day. The altitude and thin air can be quite tiring. If you still have some energy to spare, consider taking the funicular to Harder Kulm. This viewpoint is also known as the “Top of Interlaken.” The view of Lake Brienz, Lake Thun, and the entire Alpine panorama of the Jungfrau region is simply stunning.

If you prefer, you could also enjoy a leisurely walk along the Aare River or one of the lakes before treating yourself to a cozy dinner in Interlaken.

Swiss Activities Offer:

• Jungfraujoch ticket from Interlaken, Grindelwald, or Lauterbrunnen

Day 2: Adventure, Views, and Narrow Gorges

Try to get up early today and catch the train to Brienz. The journey takes about 20 minutes. Right next to the train station, you'll see the steam train that goes up to the Brienzer Rothorn.

Morning: Brienzer Rothorn

Today, you’ll visit the highest point in the canton of Lucerne, at 2,350 m above sea level. The ride on the historic steam train to the Brienzer Rothorn takes just over an hour and is an experience you won't forget quickly. The view that awaits you here is once again spectacular—but it's not on par with the first day at Jungfraujoch.

The crystal-clear, turquoise Brienzersee accompanies you the whole way. On clear days, you can see 690 Swiss mountain peaks from the top. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a lovely lunch before heading back down.

The two activities we recommend for the afternoon are a thrilling jet boat ride on the Brienzersee and a visit to the impressive Aareschlucht. Which one you do first depends on your schedule and preferences.

Swiss Activities Offer:

• Brienzer Rothorn Railway from Brienz

Afternoon: Visit the Aare Gorge

The Aare Gorge is a 1400 metres long and 200 metres deep natural wonder. Through well secured and easy to walk paths and tunnels, you’ll be passing through this narrow gorge. For roughly 45 minutes, you’ll enjoy the cool temperatures and the mystical atmosphere by the River Aare.

You can visit the gorge every day between April and October, even if the weather isn’t too good. The large water masses are even more impressive on a rainy day or after a couple of days with heavy rain.

Getting from Brienz to Aareschlucht Ost station takes 25 minutes on the train. Get off at Aareschlucht Ost, walk through the gorge and jump on the train back to Brienz at Aareschlucht West. In case you’re travelling by car, you’ll find parking lots at both entrances.

Jetboat Ride on Lake Brienz

You shouldn't miss a ride on the jet boat if you love thrilling twists and an exciting adventure on the turquoise lake.

Your local guide will take you across the lake to the impressive Giessbach Waterfalls and share interesting facts about the region. Along the way, you'll drift over the water in tight turns. The chance of getting splashed is nearly 100%. But don't worry, you'll be equipped with a waterproof suit, a jacket, and a life vest. That way, you can fully enjoy the splashes of water.

The jet boat departs from its base in Bönigen near Interlaken. So take the train from Brienz back to Interlaken and catch the bus to Bönigen.

Day 3: More Action and Views

Have you ever jumped out of a helicopter and plummeted toward the ground for 40 seconds? If not, today’s your day. Grab a light breakfast and head over to Wilderswil. Here, Christian and his team run a company called Skydive Interlaken with great passion.

The Jump Masters are incredibly experienced, with some having completed up to 13,000 jumps. You’re definitely in good hands here.

Morning: Skydiving

After a brief safety briefing, you'll be taken to the nearby helicopter base. From there, enjoy a scenic flight over the Bernese Alps until you reach the perfect altitude for your jump. Leon and Dennis from our team took the plunge during our first team week in May 2022. Read more about Leon’s experience in his article about skydiving in Interlaken.

Falling towards the ground at 200 km/h might sound a bit extreme to you. If you'd rather experience Interlaken from above without the jump, you can book one of the many paragliding flights around Interlaken instead. Either way, we recommend that you leave the ground at least once during your stay in Interlaken and take a scenic flight.

After the wild morning, your adrenaline levels will probably need a little time to calm down. That’s why the afternoon is all about slowing things down. Hop on one of the passenger ships on Lake Thun and enjoy a relaxing, leisurely ride on one of Switzerland's most beautiful lakes.

We recommend getting off at Beatenbucht and taking a stroll up to the Beatus Caves. These caves are a fascinating and popular destination from Interlaken. A well-maintained and illuminated path takes you about a kilometer into the Niederhorn massif. Along the way, you'll discover numerous natural wonders like stalactites, stalagmites, and underground streams.

After your visit, you can either take the bus back to Interlaken or, if your schedule allows, catch the boat again.
