Family Friendly Hotels in Interlaken — What to Expect
Set between the deep blue waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, with the monumental peaks of the Jungfrau, Eiger, and Mönch forming its skyline, Interlaken is Switzerland's premier adventure hub. The town itself is a charming basecamp, but the real draw is the immediate access to the Alps. Ride the historic cogwheel train to the Jungfraujoch, Europe's highest railway station, or take a cable car up to the Schynige Platte for legendary hiking trails. For thrill-seekers, paragliding over the lakes or canyon jumping in the nearby Gletscherschlucht are quintessential experiences.
This is a destination for active travelers, from couples seeking mountain romance to families enjoying the easy lake cruises and open-air transport. Staying in central Interlaken puts you steps from the Höheweg promenade and the Harderbahn funicular. For a quieter stay, consider the villages of Unterseen or Wilderswil, which are still perfectly connected by the efficient Swiss rail network. The town is an ideal gateway, with direct trains from Zurich and Bern airports.
On HOTEVI, you'll find 61 places to stay in and around Interlaken. Accommodation ranges from sociable backpacker hostels and traditional family-run guesthouses to modern design hotels with spa facilities. Many of the larger resorts offer direct views of the Jungfrau massif, making your morning coffee an event in itself.
