Guest User: A very cozy hotel with stunning views of both snow-capped mountains and a beautiful lake. Best of all, it's very close to the cable car station. Although it's a bit far from the town center, it lets you escape the hustle and bustle, making it a great choice for a getaway. Free sauna facilities are also available.

Marty.scots: Loved it. Hot upstairs in the bedroom and very difficult to shut out the sunrise. Breakfast was delicious. A car is essential to get around but you can travel by public bus.

Guest User: Peaceful and enjoyable stay in an Alpine village 🏔️🇨🇭 We (3 people) chose Hotel Stern for our stay from July 25th to 28th. It's in a beautiful location, nestled among Alpine villages, about 30 minutes from Interlaken. One of the best perks of the hotel is that guests receive a free tourist travel card that can be used in Interlaken and the surrounding area. Our room was a duplex. The upper floor had three single beds, while the lower floor featured a bathroom, toilet, a living area with a sofa, and an American-style kitchen. The room didn't have a balcony, but even though it was on the terrace level, we never had to worry about the heat. Even in July, the weather in Interlaken was so cool that we slept with a duvet at night. 😊 There's a rather steep staircase in the room, which I should point out, but it wasn't an issue for us. I can't talk about the hotel without mentioning the owner. She is incredibly sweet, friendly, and hospitable. She greeted us personally and gave us a really enjoyable orientation filled with jokes and humor. When she asked if we needed anything in the room, we requested an electric Turkish coffee pot, but I guess our coffee pot took a little tour of Switzerland and forgot to come back. 😂☕️ Thankfully, as Turks, we were able to make our own coffee using the pot and stove in the room. You can stay here with complete peace of mind regarding cleanliness and quietness. We were very satisfied with our stay. I definitely recommend it, especially to those who want to stay in a calm and peaceful environment in an Alpine village. When we return to Switzerland, Hotel Stern will definitely be among our accommodation choices again. I sincerely thank them. 🇨🇭🏔️

Guest User: The room and the environment were both excellent. The B&B is located halfway up the mountain, just steps away from the bus stop. Bus No. 101 takes you directly to Interlaken West Station in just over ten minutes. The owner was very welcoming and caring. The breakfast was generous, featuring local specialties, and the coffee was excellent. The dining environment was first-rate. The price is exceptional for a B&B like this in Switzerland. Highly recommended!

MandolUK: This was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. It’s a little outside Interlaken, but since we had a rental car, the 20–30 minute drive wasn’t a problem at all. In fact, the incredible views more than make up for the distance — the scenery is absolutely breathtaking and easily the highlight of the stay. The facilities, including the swimming pool and fitness centre, were also great, and the breakfast was excellent. Highly recommended!

🏘️ This time in Interlaken, I didn’t stay in the town center but in the hillside village of Beatenberg · 🏔 Facing the Jungfrau, on clear days you can see the snowy mountains just by opening the window. It was here that I found a very local hiking trail — Niederhorn · 🗺️ Route ❶ Going up: Taking the cable car is the easiest way up From Beatenberg station halfway up the mountain (the terminus of bus line 101), take the cable car up in two segments: 🔹 Beatenberg → Vorsass 🔹 Vorsass → Niederhorn · The summit is about 1960m above sea level, with a wide-open view where you can see the entire Lake Thun and the mountain range including Jungfrau and Eiger. The summit platform alone is worth spending a long time at · ❷ Hiking: Niederhorn → Vorsass → Beatenberg 🔹 The most recommended section is Niederhorn → Vorsass, which follows a ridge meadow route, mostly a gentle downhill with continuously expansive scenery 🚶 Distance: 3 km ⏳ Duration: 1.5 hours Vorsass has a restaurant with a fantastic view where you can grab a bite and rest. A local couple sharing our table told us that most visitors here are locals, and it’s rare to see East Asian faces like ours · 🔹 There are two options to descend from Vorsass: ① Take the cable car down to Beatenberg ② Continue hiking from Vorsass to Beatenberg, which passes through different vegetation, mostly forest trails 🚶 Distance: 6 km ⏳ Time: 2 hours · 🛷 Hidden Winter Fun In winter, there is a long sledding run. Many locals take the cable car to the summit, rent a sled, and slide all the way down to Vorsass · 💡 Tips 🔹 This route is always on the sunny side of the mountain, so it’s very sunny in both winter and summer. Be sure to wear sunglasses in winter 🔹 In winter, wear shoes with good grip; crampons are also helpful for easier walking 🔹 If you want to take the cable car down from Vorsass, consider buying a 3-zone ticket ·

There are hotels that are memorable not for the number of stars or the luxury of their interiors, but for how harmoniously they blend into the surrounding landscape. This selection features eight completely different places united by a single philosophy: respect for nature, local architecture, and cultural heritage. I've compiled a list of hotels where the aesthetics don't end with a beautiful lobby, but continue into the rooms, public spaces, and even the details of the landscape design. 1. Grand Hotel Tremezzo — Lake Como, Italy 🇮🇹 Liberty Style · Italian Elegance <AsyncImage query="Grand Hotel Tremezzo Lake Como exterior lake swimming pool historic hotel" aspectRatio="16:9" width="100%"/> This hotel has a cohesive and recognizable aesthetic. The architecture and interiors are in the spirit of Liberty Style—the Italian version of Art Nouveau. The elegance of Lombardy and the atmosphere of Lake Como are particularly evident here. 2. Jinmao Purelax Mountain Hotel Lijiang — Lijiang, China 🇨🇳 Design Hotels · Mountain Architecture <AsyncImage query="Jinmao Purelax Lijiang snow mountain hotel wooden cabin architecture" aspectRatio="16:9" width="100%"/> Wooden cabins, mountain views, and a sense of privacy. In the morning, you can admire the famous golden glow of the mountain peaks from your room, and in the evening, head to the stargazing platform. The combination of natural materials and the surrounding nature is particularly impressive. 3. Naked Castle Retreat — Moganshan, China 🏰 Historic Architecture · Mountain Resort <AsyncImage query="Naked Castle Moganshan China cliff infinity pool Scottish castle resort" aspectRatio="16:9" width="100%"/> An ancient Scottish castle given new life in the Chinese mountains. The most striking feature is the mountaintop pool, which appears to float above the slope. An unusual example of how historical heritage can be adapted to a completely different natural environment. 4. Crowne Plaza Queenstown — Queenstown, New Zealand 🇳🇿 Lake Wakatipu View <AsyncImage query="Crowne Plaza Queenstown hotel balcony Lake Wakatipu mountain view" aspectRatio="16:9" width="100%"/> Here, the main luxury is New Zealand's natural surroundings. The balcony offers views of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains. The architecture doesn't try to steal the show, letting the landscape take center stage. 5. Parco San Marco and ARIA Retreat & SPA — Lake Lugano, Italy 🇮🇹 Sustainable Approach · Architecture Among the Mountains <AsyncImage query="ARIA Retreat SPA Lake Lugano exterior architecture forest lake" aspectRatio="16:9" width="100%"/> The ARIA Retreat is particularly interesting for its approach to the environment. According to the project description, the building's position had to be shifted back to preserve the natural slope. Here, the architecture is subordinate to the landscape, not the other way around. 6. Boutique-Hotel Zürichberg — Zurich, Switzerland 🇨🇭 Modern Swiss Design <AsyncImage query="Boutique Hotel Zurichberg Zurich exterior lake panorama lobby" aspectRatio="16:9" width="100%"/> An elevated hotel with panoramic views of Lake Zurich. The lobby resembles an art gallery, and the decor combines Swiss minimalism with a contemporary take on the historic Art Nouveau style. 7. Beatenberg Resort & Spa — Beatenberg, Switzerland 🇨🇭 Alpine architecture · Historical heritage <AsyncImage query="Beatenberg Resort Spa Switzerland traditional alpine wooden chalet lake Thun view" aspectRatio="16:9" width="100%"/> Traditional Bernese Oberland architecture, wooden elements, and an Alpine character. The historic main building dates back to 1881. But the views of the lakes and mountains from above create a special impression. 8. Six Senses Zighy Bay — Musandam Peninsula, Oman 🇴🇲 Traditional coastal village <AsyncImage query="Six Senses Zighy Bay Oman resort traditional stone village mountains beach aerial" aspectRatio="16:9" width="100%"/> One of the most interesting examples of local architectural identity. The resort is reminiscent of a traditional fishing village: stone buildings, natural materials, and an organic blend with the surrounding mountains and seashore. ⸻ What unites these eight hotels? Not ostentatious luxury, but a thoughtful connection to the place. Some are inspired by historical style, others by local building traditions, and others by careful attention to the natural landscape. I especially like the idea of a hotel that doesn't look out of place among beautiful landscapes, but rather as if it's always been part of the place. Save this list for future travels and subscribe—there are even more interesting hotels with character and their own history to come!
I stood in the middle of Höhematte Park, watching bright paragliders glide gracefully against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks and the glacial turquoise waters of Lake Brienz and Lake Thun. Tucked snugly between these two pristine lakes—a location that gave the town its Latin name Inter Lacus ("between lakes")—Interlaken boasts a rich history dating back to a 12th-century Augustinian monastery. In the 19th century, iconic writers and artists like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Lord Byron visited, mesmerized by the imposing triumvirate of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains. What began as a peaceful retreat for Victorian landscape lovers eventually transformed into Europe’s undisputed adventure capital, attracting thrill-seekers from every corner of the globe. I quickly learned that diving into Interlaken's extreme sports culture—from tandem paragliding off Beatenberg to skydiving over the Bernese Oberland—demands uncompromising attention to professional safety standards. My absolute single most important travel safety tip for Interlaken is verifying that any adventure operator holds an official "Safety in Tourism" certification (or Swiss SHV/FSV credentials) and never overriding a pilot's weather call. Paragliding and skydiving companies in Interlaken operate under strict regulatory standards, but mountain microclimates can create sudden wind shifts or dangerous thermal updrafts without warning. If an experienced local pilot cancels or delays your flight due to wind conditions, respect their decision instantly rather than trying to shop around for a less cautious operator your life literally depends on that expertise. I spent my days hiking high-altitude trails like the Harder Kulm ridge and Schynige Platte, where rapid mountain weather shifts can catch even seasoned outdoor enthusiasts off guard. Alpine weather in the Swiss Alps can swing from warm sunshine to freezing rain, heavy fog, or sudden thunderstorm gales within thirty minutes. My top local suggestion for trail safety is investing in proper ankle-supporting hiking boots, trekking poles, and a lightweight emergency bivy bag, while continuously checking the MeteoSwiss app for live radar updates. A key local tip I picked up from a Bernese trail guide is to always start morning ascents early to clear high ridge lines before afternoon convective heat builds up storm clouds, and never cross marked snow patches without microspikes or crampons on steep inclines. I loved unwinding after adrenaline-filled days by exploring Interlaken’s quieter, authentic side away from the main tourist strip of Höheweg. For a gorgeous hidden gem, take a short local bus ride to the historic village of Unterseen across the Aare River, where you can stroll around quiet cobblestone squares and historic wooden chalets with far fewer crowds. When it comes to local food, skip the generic souvenir shops and duck into Bäckerei-Conditorei Reinle for fresh Swiss pastries or enjoy a traditional mountain cheese fondue at Restaurant Laterne. By respecting unpredictable alpine weather, carrying proper mountain gear, and booking only certified flight pilots, you can experience the high-flying thrill of the Bernese Alps with absolute confidence and peace of mind. #Interlaken #TravelSafetyTips #ParaglidingInterlakenn #SwissAlps #ExploreSwitzerland #VisitInterlaken #AdventureTravel #MountainSafety #travelsafetytips
Start your journey from Interlaken, travel along the northern shore of Lake Thun all the way to Bern, and return by boat along the southern shore to complete a perfect circuit around the entire lake. First Stop: Beatenberg Take Bus 21 from Interlaken Ost station. Pass by St. Beatus Caves—catch a glimpse of them as you go—on your way to Beatenbucht, then transfer to the cable car up to Beatenberg. Standing on the observation deck, you’ll see the stunning panorama of Lake Thun and the surrounding mountains; it’s truly a spectacular sight. Next, head to Oberhofen Castle (Schloss Oberhofen). This lakeside castle looks like something straight out of a fairytale. The historic castle paired with the snow-capped mountains in the distance is mesmerizing from every angle. Continue to Thun Castle (Schloss Thun). From the castle heights, you can look out over the entire city of Thun. The layers of red roofs, the river, and the distant Alps create a beautiful landscape that is one of the highlights of this trip. After leaving Thun, take the train to the Swiss capital, Bern. First, take a bus to the Rose Garden (Rosengarten). Looking down from this height, you can see Bern’s Old Town surrounded by the Aare River—this is the most iconic view of the city. Walk down the path toward the Bear Park, and stop by Einstein’s Bench for a photo along the way. Next, explore Bern’s Old Town. The Zytglogge (Clock Tower), Bern Minster, cobblestone streets, arcades, and the trams weaving through the city create a rich, historic European atmosphere that feels like being on a movie set. For the return trip, take the train to Spiez. Spiez Castle (Schloss Spiez) sits elegantly by the lake. It is a compact and charming spot that is a favorite for photographers. It’s located by the water at the bottom of a hill, and you can take a bus there if needed. Finally, board a boat from Spiez (See) back to Interlaken West (See). Admire the views of Lake Thun, the lakeside villages, and the Alpine scenery along the way, ending your journey in the most relaxing way possible. This route is special because it brings together mountain scenery, lake views, historic castles, an ancient city, and a boat cruise all in one day, with almost no backtracking. With a Swiss Travel Pass (STP), the castles, cable cars, and all transportation are completely free. Transportation Guide: Interlaken Ost → Beatenbucht (Bus) → Beatenberg (Cable Car) → Schloss Oberhofen (Bus) → Thun (Bus) → Bern (Train) → Bern City Center (Bus + Walking) → Spiez (Train) → Spiez See → Interlaken West See (Boat)

Anonymous userThe town of Spiez on Lake Thun is an absolutely charming place to visit. It is backed by mountains, faces vineyards and, most magnificently, is crowned by a splendid castle. The Niederhorn mountain range above the lake stretches all the way to the Bernese Alps, creating a magnificent panorama. The mild climate and bright sunshine make it an ideal starting point for exploring the many famous tourist attractions in the Bernese Oberland or Valais. Spiez Castle is a highlight here, as is the castle gardens. From the castle, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the lake and the surrounding area. Likewise, a detour to the castle church is worthwhile. There are many hiking and cycling trails around Spiez. In addition, the neighboring cities of Thun and Interlaken are also great for day trips. Last but not least, the Bernese Oberland is easily accessible from Spiez.
NachtischInterlaken is definitely a holiday paradise. Overlooking the Jungfraujoch from Herweg Street is a great enjoyment in life and a must-visit place. I felt the idyllic life here, which was definitely worth the trip!
爱梦媛We first took a train from Interlaken to Spez, and then took a boat from Spez to Thun. Lake Thunersee is known as God's left eye. I personally think it is a little worse than Lake Brienz, God's right eye. Lake Thun is greener, while Brienz is bluer. Of course, Lake Thun is also very beautiful, especially with the buildings and natural scenery on both sides. If you take a boat, it is free with a Swiss pass. However, there are few seats in the second-class cabin, and it is a bit cold to sit outside. It is recommended to wear more clothes. From Thun back to Interlaken, we chose to take the bus, and we can see different beautiful scenery along the way.
横竖是二温小迪The experience was great. The little car went up and down, and when you got to the top, it was snowing heavily. It looked really cool. The prices at the cafe in the attraction were also reasonable. It was so peaceful to have a cup of coffee while watching the snow fall.
Anonymous userJungfraujoch – Top of Europe is one of Switzerland’s most spectacular mountain destinations, offering an unforgettable experience high in the Swiss Alps. Surrounded by magnificent snow-covered peaks, vast glaciers, and breathtaking alpine scenery, the journey to the summit is an adventure itself. The panoramic views from the top are truly mesmerizing, especially on a clear day when the mountains seem to stretch endlessly into the horizon. Walking through the snowy landscape feels like entering a winter wonderland. The impressive Aletsch Glacier adds even more beauty to the experience. Jungfraujoch is a must-visit destination for travelers who love mountains, snow, photography, and extraordinary natural landscapes.
Hossain Hoq ProhorThe last boat from Interlaken East Station to Lake Brienz was at 15:07, and when we went there, the boat had just left. The staff taught us to take the bus to Brienz, and then catch the boat at 16:40, and take the boat from Brienz back to Interlaken. We bought a second-class Swiss pass, which allows free boat rides. There are not many seats in the second-class cabin, but there are more open-air seats. If you are afraid of the cold, you can get on the boat earlier. I sat in the restaurant at first and thought I had to consume, but after sitting for a while, I realized that there was no mandatory requirement.

Anonymous userA very beautiful park, located in the heart of Interlaken, surrounded by shops selling watches, luxury goods, and restaurants. Every time I pass by here, I can't help but take pictures. The European-style buildings are as beautiful as oil paintings against the backdrop of the large lawn. We basically went there at dusk. There were not many tourists on the lawn, and we saw people playing paragliding.
