Taking a Tour of Interlaken

Area Tours

A tourist in Interlaken can easily plan and enjoy their stay without an organized tour. Each Interlaken hotel will happily provide guests with information regarding the best sightseeing, shopping, and dining. However, visitors who prefer following an organized sightseeing tour or just want to avoid the worry of planning each activity themselves can book a few great tours in Interlaken.

Lake Tours

In the summer, many operators offer tours around Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. A typical tour will include a drive along the shoreline, a visit into one or more of the idyllic villages around the lake, a lunch or dinner stop, and a cruise on the water.

Village Tours

For those who love the local flavour, summer time is the best time to spend a day meandering through the villages that surround Interlaken. These tours can be done by train, on foot, or in a horse and carriage. The people are friendly, the food is superb, and visitors might be sorry when the day ends.

Air Tours

In the winter, one of the most comfortable ways to take in Interlaken’s snow covered peaks is by flying overhead. Small planes will give sightseers dramatic views of the glaciers and famous passes. Hiring a helicopter will allow guests to get close to the tops of some of the highest mountains in Europe.

Mountain Tours

A winter tour up into one of the mountains around Interlaken will be a memory of a lifetime. Windswept passes, icy glaciers, sparkling snow palaces, breathtaking views from Europe’s highest railway station, and some skiing or sledding are just a few of the many treats in store on these mountain tours.
