Highlights of Interlaken
To the west of the town lies Lake Thun, a vast sapphire expanse lined with medieval castles and vineyard-covered hills. A day trip from Interlaken could include a private cruise to Oberhofen Castle or a lakeside lunch in Spiez, where the water shimmers under the afternoon sun. The Beautus Caves, nestled along the lake’s shoreline, are another hidden gem, offering an intriguing glimpse into the area’s natural beauty. These serene moments are at the heart of our luxury Interlaken tours – quiet beauty, curated with Swiss precision.
To the east, Lake Brienz dazzles with its unreal turquoise hue. Its tranquil surface is perfect for Interlaken Switzerland boat tours, where you’ll glide past dramatic cliffs and hidden waterfalls and picturesque, lakeside fishing villages. We can arrange exclusive access to local artisans in Brienz village, famed for its centuries-old woodcarving traditions, or a private photography tour to capture the lake’s ethereal colour.
Known as Interlaken’s “local mountain,” Harder Kulm offers panoramic views of both lakes and the Jungfrau massif. Take the funicular to the summit for sunset drinks on the glass terrace – an unforgettable highlight of any Interlaken tour. For guests seeking something more exclusive, our guides can arrange early-morning visits before the crowds arrive, when the light over the Alps is at its most magical.
Interlaken is the gateway to the Jungfrau, one of Switzerland’s most iconic regions. Many of our day trips from Interlaken venture here, combining scenic train rides with private guided walks or glacier experiences. Whether you’re visiting Lauterbrunnen’s waterfalls or enjoying the view from Kleine Scheidegg, this area embodies the soul of the Swiss Alps and is a must for anyone on a Switzerland tour.
Our multiday itineraries extend this experience further, allowing travellers to spend several days exploring the Jungfrau region in depth, balancing adventure, comfort, sightseeing, and authentic Swiss hospitality.
