What would you do with three days in Interlaken?
A railway trip from Interlaken to Jungfraujoch?
If you’re planning a visit to the Bernese Oberland in the crisp heart of central Switzerland, you’ve probably already earmarked Jungfraujoch as a must-see attraction for its legendary railway—the highest in all of Europe.
Being just one of the reasons why the Oberland attracts more visitors than any other Alpine destination, the Jungfraujoch offers views unparalleled anywhere else in central Europe.
Climb to the top of Europe
Take care to allow a full day when visiting Jungfraujoch. There’s a lot to experience, and combined with the high altitude, you’ll tire more quickly and move more slowly than usual. The more time you allow, the more you’ll enjoy the experience.
The train journey from Kleine Scheidegg alone promises to be unforgettable, delivering you ultimately to the plateau of Europe’s largest glacier, and the ‘Top of Europe’ restaurant.
Make sure to visit the Sphinx Observatory boasting the fastest elevator in Switzerland, with galleries offering some of the best views from the mountain. Do not forget your camera!
The best attractions are on your doorstep
Breathtaking as it is, don’t let Jungfraujoch eclipse the other equally-worthwhile destinations in the area. There are plenty of attractions for you and your family to enjoy, from the spectacular Schilthorn cable car to the charming, traditional & car-free village of Mürren.
You could easily fill a week experiencing the Oberland and still come away wanting more. As a rule, at least a half-day is recommended for each destination. Four nights in Interlaken is considered a minimum by the area’s connoisseurs, but however long you decide to stay, you can be sure of a magnificent time.
Stay in the heart of the Oberland: Interlaken
Interlaken, literally between two lakes, is the perfect launchpad for exploring the Oberland. A picturesque Swiss town with lakeside scenes of intense natural beauty, you’ll discover a cornucopia of unmissable destinations right at your doorstep.
Surrounded by some of the most elegant and magnificent peaks in Europe, you’ll wake up each morning to a vision of intense wild beauty.
Don’t miss the gentle Japanese garden or the opportunity to explore lakes Thun and Brienz on one of the popular boat rides, including two beautifully-restored lake steamers. For your evening meal, take your pick from traditional, Caribbean, Mexican or Thai restaurants.
