Positioned between the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz and Lake Thun, Interlaken is Switzerland's premier gateway to the Jungfrau massif. We connect your arrival at Zurich Airport with door-to-door private transfers and arrange flexible chauffeur-driven day tours into the surrounding alpine valleys.
For travellers exploring the Swiss Alps, Interlaken offers the rare combination of central geography, lowland accessibility, and immediate connectivity to both high-altitude summits and serene lake waters.
Interlaken offers a central base with direct road and rail connections into the glacier valleys of Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. The town features lakeside promenades, the historic Höheweg boulevard, and the Harder Kulm funicular viewpoint overlooking the Jungfrau massif.
Positioned precisely where the Lütschine valley splits toward Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. You can reach either mountain gateway within 20 minutes by road without switching accommodation.
Framed by Lake Thun to the west (historic castles, vineyards, St. Beatus Caves) and Lake Brienz to the east (intense turquoise glacial water, Giessbach Falls, woodcarving hamlets).
Located on a flat valley floor at 566 meters elevation, Interlaken avoids extreme winter pass closures and offers direct multi-lane motorway access directly from Zurich and Bern.
Home to historic grand hotels like the Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa and Lindner Grand Hotel Beau Rivage, with private vehicle access directly up to hotel porticos.
From panoramic summit platforms to turquoise glacial shores and historic promenades.
Ascending via historic funicular from Interlaken Ost in 10 minutes, the Harder Kulm viewing platform extends over the cliff edge. It provides an unobstructed panorama directly facing the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, with Lake Thun on the right and Lake Brienz on the left.
Both lakes originate from alpine glaciers but offer distinct characters. Lake Brienz is steeper, deeper, and vividly turquoise, lined with cliffs and the Giessbach Falls. Lake Thun is broader and bordered by medieval castles in Spiez, Oberhofen, and Thun.
The 700-meter Höheweg boulevard stretches between Interlaken West and Interlaken Ost stations, lined with heritage hotels, Swiss watch boutiques, and open gardens. Across the Aare River, the medieval quarter of Unterseen preserves 13th-century wooden architecture and peaceful canals.
From Interlaken, private chauffeur drives carry you directly into the vertical cliff amphitheatre of Lauterbrunnen with its 72 waterfalls, or up to the foot of the Eiger North Face in Grindelwald, without the rigid schedules of regional trains.
A private day journey from Zurich or Lucerne to the Bernese Oberland. Travel through Lauterbrunnen valley with its glacial waterfalls, continue by mountain railway to the Jungfraujoch high-altitude saddle at 3,454 meters, and return via Grindelwald.
A dedicated mountain day trip to Grindelwald First. Ascend by 6-seater gondola to 2,168 meters, step onto the Tissot Cliff Walk suspension footbridge, admire direct views of the Eiger North Face, and enjoy optional alpine activities.
Explore the heart of the Bernese Oberland situated between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. Take the funicular to Harder Kulm for views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, followed by a visit to the mountain village of Grindelwald.
This tour combines first-class scenic Swiss rail travel with private chauffeur luggage handling. Ride the Zentralbahn Lucerne–Interlaken Express through the Brünig Pass while your vehicle and chauffeur wait at your destination station.
A peaceful journey to Blausee, a deep blue subterranean-fed mountain lake situated in an 8-hectare forest park. Continue onward through the Kander Valley to the lakeside promenade of Interlaken.
Walk the safe cantilevered wooden walkways through the dramatic 1.4-kilometer Aare Gorge in Meiringen, carved out by glacial runoff over millennia, followed by a visit to the Reichenbach Falls and traditional Swiss mountain settlements.
The journey from Zurich Airport to Interlaken is the quintessential Swiss arrival transition. Travelling south past Lake Zurich and the shores of Lake Lucerne, the route climbs gently over the scenic Brünig Pass before following the turquoise edge of Lake Brienz directly into Interlaken. Unlike the train journey which requires transferring with heavy luggage at Zurich Central Station and Bern, a private transfer provides door-to-door transit directly to your hotel portico.

Accurate seasonal guidance for planning mountain excursions, lake cruises, and valley touring.
Long daylight hours and mild temperatures make summer ideal for high-altitude hiking, open-air boat cruises, and evening strolls along Höheweg. High-alpine railways and cable cars operate at full capacity.
Autumn brings stable high-pressure weather with clear visibility across the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. The beech and larch forests along Lake Brienz turn deep amber.
While Interlaken itself stays largely snow-free on the valley floor, the surrounding peaks receive heavy alpine snowfall. The town serves as a comfortable, lowland base for daily skiing at Grindelwald-Wengen and Mürren.
Glacial meltwater swells Staubbach Falls and Trümmelbach Falls to their highest volume of the year. The valley meadows fill with wildflowers while snow still blankets the higher summits.
The private chauffeur drive takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes under normal motorway conditions (134 km). By contrast, public trains take around 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes and require at least one or two platform transfers with luggage at Zurich HB or Bern.
