This wonderful location has long attracted those who love a truly remarkable setting to make their holiday special and it has attracted many thousands of visitors from around the world. The excellent rail and road connections ensure that Interlaken's guests have an enormous range of the most attractive destinations to choose from and explore in and around town.
