Interlaken

Bern

As a guest at our youth hostel in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, you'll find public transport right at your doorstep which can take you to the most stunning sights on Lakes Brienz and Thun as well as in the Bernese Alps. Backpackers, families and other adventurers don't just benefit from the affordable rates here, but can also start their next trip by bus, rail or boat directly from the hostel. From up high, wherever you go, you have a fascinating view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfraujoch, or the Aletsch Glacier – the largest in the Alps. In summer, Interlaken emerges as a paradise for fans of the great outdoors, such as paragliders and river rafters, and in winter it's most popular with freestylers.
