Top 19 places to visit in Interlaken

Jungfrau is a prominent mountain peak in the Bernese Alps, reaching 4,158 metres and part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Often referred to as the "Top of Europe," it is accessible via the Jungfrau railway, which takes visitors through a dramatic landscape of glaciers, rocky outcrops, and the iconic Eiger and Mönch peaks. A visit here offers extensive hiking trails and breathtaking views, particularly from the viewing platform at the Jungfraujoch railway station. Summer months attract the most tourists, but winter sports enthusiasts will find excellent skiing in the surrounding areas. The high-altitude setting is strikingly silent, broken only by the distant sound of creaking ice.

The Schilthorn is a mountain summit in the Bernese Alps, rising to 2,970 metres. Famous for its panoramic views of over 200 peaks, including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, it gained international attention as the filming location for the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in 1969. The revolving restaurant on top offers a 360-degree view, making it a unique dining experience. The best time to visit is during summer months when the weather is clear, allowing for optimal views and photography. Take the cable car from the nearby village of Mürren, which adds to the scenic journey. Always bring warm layers, as temperatures can be brisk even in summer.
