Historical Context

Interlaken rose to fame in the 1800s as a health resort. Today, it combines its historic Victorian architecture with its reputation as the 'Adventure Capital of Europe'.

Photography Tips

  • Use a polarizing filter for lake shots to manage reflections
  • Keep spare batteries close to your body; the cold drains them quickly
  • Golden hour in winter is early (around 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM)

Insider Tips

  • Take the late afternoon kayak tour for incredible 'blue hour' photography
  • The 'Bodmi' slopes in Grindelwald offer the best views for beginners
  • Bring a GoPro for the night sledding—the headlamp footage is amazing

Our Partners

  • In collaboration with Viator and local Swiss outdoor experts.

Fun Facts

  • Interlaken is located on a 'Bödeli', an alluvial plain between two lakes.
  • The town’s name literally translates to 'between lakes' from Latin 'Inter Lacus'.
  • The Eiger North Face visible from many tours is one of the most famous climbing walls in the world.

Cancellation Policy

Most winter tours offer a full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before the activity starts. Specific high-demand packages may have a 48-hour or 72-hour window.

Jetboat Fun

Even in winter, the jetboat ride is a must. You get waterproof gear and the spins are exhilarating. The views of the mountains from the lake are unbeatable.
