Interlaken
Interlaken lies between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz and is the gateway to the Jungfrau region, with its mountain railways, hiking trails and ski resorts. Travellers landing in Geneva with family, ski bags or tight plans save several train changes by booking a private car that drops them at their hotel on the Höheweg or at the start of their Alpine trip.

Chauffeur's tipPlanning the Jungfraujoch the next day? Check the weather forecast on arrival; your chauffeur can also take you on to Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald.
The route via Bern and Lake Thun
The drive follows the A1 along Lake Geneva to Lausanne, the A9 and A12 via Fribourg to Bern, then the A6 south through the Aare valley to Thun. From Thun the A8 runs along the southern shore of Lake Thun, past Spiez, with the peaks of the Bernese Oberland ahead. The 215 km usually take around 2 h 20; summer weekends and winter holiday Saturdays can be busier. The final stretch along the lake is one of the most scenic sections of the trip, with views across the water towards the Niesen and the surrounding peaks.
Arriving in Interlaken
Interlaken has two main stations, Interlaken West and Interlaken Ost, and its hotels line the Höheweg facing the Jungfrau. Your chauffeur drops you at your hotel entrance or at Interlaken Ost if you are continuing by mountain train towards Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen or the Jungfraujoch. Your chauffeur can also go straight on to Wengen, Mürren or Grindelwald, saving another change. Holiday apartments in Matten or Unterseen are reached just as easily; simply give the full address when you book.
