home > Switzerland > Interlaken Interlaken lies between the lakes Thun and Brienz, and it is from this location that its name is derived. With clear mountain streams and waterfalls the resort was famous as a summer playground, but today with 160 km of ski trails in the area it has become a top winter destination as well.   The Jungfrau Region lift provides all public transport to the winter sports areas, and makes the use of private vehicles redundant. The Jungfrau Railway serves Interlaken with the highest railway line in Europe that has the most interesting views if you have the nerve to glance out the window.   Zurich Airport is two and a half hours from Interlaken, and Geneva Airport three hours, by rail. Bern Airport receives Swiss Airlines and all regional airlines, and is one hour and fifteen minutes by bus or rail to Interlaken.
