Interlaken, Resort town in Bernese Oberland, Switzerland
Located between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz at 571 meters elevation, Interlaken spans across a flat valley surrounded by Alpine mountains.
The area was known as Aarmühle until 1891, when the presence of an established monastery from 1133 influenced the early development of the region.
The Unspunnenfest celebration brings together Swiss citizens for traditional sports competitions, alpine horn performances, and folk music presentations.
The central railway station connects travelers to major Swiss cities and mountain destinations, including direct trains to Jungfraujoch at 3,454 meters.
The Höhematte, a 14-hectare green space in the center, serves as a landing zone for paragliders descending from surrounding mountains.
