Interlaken is surrounded by some of the highest mountains in the Alps including Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. It is nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz in the Bernese Highlands and is located in central Switzerland.

The beautiful landscape provides tourists plenty of places to visit in Interlaken, both within the town itself as well as day trips from Interlaken.

We stayed at Wengen, a village above Lauterbrunnen with amazing views of the Alps from the village itself. Our recommendation is to stay in the Lauterbrunnen valley or in the villages rather than in Interlaken itself.
