The village sits just 20 minutes from Interlaken and serves as a gateway to the Jungfrau Region, with quick connections to Wengen, Mürren, the Jungfraujoch, and Schilthorn.

About Interlaken
Interlaken sits between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz in the Swiss Alps, the base for the Jungfrau region's peaks, waterfalls, trains and adventure sports.
Interlaken lies on a flat strip of land between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, which gave the town its name, with the Aare river running through it. A broad meadow, the Höhematte, faces the Jungfrau, a snow-covered peak often visible on clear days. The town grew in the 19th century as a resort, and grand hotels and a promenade, the Höheweg, remain from that time.
Top-ranked sights in Interlaken: Jungfraujoch Sphinx Observatory (Sphinx-Observatorium), Lake Brienz (Brienzersee), Lake Thun (Thunersee).
