Interlaken literally means ‘between the lakes’, a name derived from the emerald-green lakes - Brienz and Thun - that flank the town. The low-lying resort at the base of the Jungfrau massif is an excellent jumping-off point for your exploration of the Jungfrau region.
Interlaken is the most well-known town in the Bernese Alps, but that’s mainly because of its strategic location. While somewhat crowded at times, it also makes a convenient base for exploring places like the Jungfraujoch, the Schilthorn and the other resort towns up the mountains that provide winter and summer activities for athletes as well as casual visitors and families.
Between adventures, you can stroll the Botanical Gardens or sip a cocktail at the Victoria Jungfrau Hotel and Spa. Walk the main shopping road to the two rail stations at either end of the town, connecting you to the network of funiculars, gondolas and cog railways that link the mountain peaks to the villages below.
