For adventure lovers, Interlaken offers plenty of exciting outdoor activities. Enjoy the thrill of river rafting, canyoning, or a jet boat ride at Lake Brienz. If you prefer a more relaxed experience, take the nostalgic Schynige Platte Railway up to the mountain for stunning views of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks and explore beautiful alpine gardens.
