Interlaken – a well-known tourist destination in the Bernese Oberland
This 5 star holiday resort is situated in the heart of the Swiss Alps, at 60 km from Bern, between the Lakes of Thun and Brienz, at the foot of the famous trio of peaks, the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau.
The resort has expanded considerably by the union of three settlements: Matten, Interlaken and Unterseen. The Victorian atmosphere of the city is completed by the facilities offered to the highest standard. In this superb place is said to have lingered the Swiss hero Wilhelm Tell.
First hotels were built in Interlaken – one of the oldest Swiss resorts – since 1806. Today, many hotels are located along the Höheweg avenue which offer good views of the mountains.
Most tourists come here attracted by the rugged beauty of the surrounding peaks; the main attraction is probably the magnificent Jungfrau (4,158 m) and the nearby Jungfraujoch railway station (3,450 m). The glaciated region located here, Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn, is the largest in Europe. Sphinx Terrace, from the foot of the glacier, offers an excellent view of the Jungfrau plateau and Ice Palace.
Interlaken is frequently visited by adventure-seeking backpackers throughout the year. If you love outdoor sports and you want to travel in the surrounding Bernese Oberland Alps, than Interlaken is the right holiday destination for you!
Don’t forget about the Jungfrau Marathon, it starts in September in Interlaken! The Jungfrau Marathon is one of the best known mountain
