Yelp Review 2026 #114:…read more When you stay in Interlaken, you have two options: stay close to Interlaken Ost or stay close to Interlaken West. Both have pros and cons depending on what you value. If you want a quiet area and plan to go to Harder Kulm, Grindelwald, Jungfrau, and Lauterbrunnen - stay close to Interlaken Ost. If you like shopping, lots of restaurant options, nightlife and plan to take a cruise to Lake Thun a stay close to Interlaken West. If you're taking a train to Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald - be sure to pay attention to the labels on the floor. Everyone good on. The same train number but you don't want to hop on the wrong carriage. The train splits in Zweilütschinen. If you have 1st class ticket, you might want to slum it out in 2nd class on the right carriage or keep walking til you see a 1st class carriage and risk getting left behind! It's just one train ride, you'll live! On the way back to Interlaken Ost, there will be 1st vs 2nd class carriages. If you only paid for 2nd class tickets, do not hop on the 1st class carriage. Yes, there's a lot of people in 2nd class and you'll end up standing because there's no seat available but that doesn't give you the right to go to 1st class. There's always somebody checking your ticket. It made for good entertainment for me guessing who didn't have 1st class tickets but were in the 1st class carriage - I got 3/3 correct! It's always the ones who watch videos on speaker. This is where 1st class tickets become more obviously better. There's always seats in 1st class. It's quieter. There's no store, cafe, restaurant at the station per se. However, you'll find plenty around the station.

Such a great way to see Gimmelwald, Murren and the summit of the Schilthorn. When you arrive, you…read morehave the option to going to any or all of the stops. This was by far the easiest way of getting to Gimmelwald or Murren without hiking and it is the only way to the summit of the Schilthorn. The cable car takes about 6 minutes to get to Gimmelwald and about 12 to Murren. The summit is a 30 minute ride. You will need to stop at each stop and transfer to another cable car to go up higher. Buying tickets was easy and the associates speak multiple languages. We took the cable car to Murren and it was €22 round trip. We were also able to get off in Gimmelwald for a peek around the village. The staff are very friendly and each station has restrooms and are clean. The cars are a less than 20 minute drive from Interlaken on a beautiful mountain road. Try out this cable car and you won't be disappointed.

First of all, I must say that it's not just a hotel. It's a resort where locals & tourists can…read morevisit for hiking and beautiful views of Giessbach falls and Lake Brienz. I love the fact that the trail leads you directly behind the waterfall. It's so cool & refreshing up there. It's totally worth visiting on a sunny or rainy day. There's a café on the hotel terrace, as well as an indoor lounge with a restaurant. Many people were on the terrace enjoying a snack while viewing the waterfall and lake. We walked around the historical rooms and lounge of the hotel. It truly is a step back into the late 19th century. It was also cool to see the Giessbach funicular car traveling up the track from Lake Brienz. It's the oldest abt switch railway design dating back to 1879. Neat! I'd say it's worth a visit for the Nature Park. There are so many different trails that lead you to Iseltwald, Schweibenalp, Axalp, Brienz, and Bramisegg from the park. It's such a scenic drive up there as well. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be when viewing it all from a ferry on Lake Brienz. We enjoyed our visit here. It was peaceful & relaxing.

If you are looking for an experience with your hotel stay, this is the place for it. The atmosphere is breathtaking. Listen to some live piano music while sipping on a cocktail in the lounge and taking in views everywhere you look with a waterfall on one side and the magnificent Lake Brienz on the other. During the day you'll see a trolley that transports guests up and down to a ferry on the lake. My only note is that the comfort factor may not be quite as high as some other places, but the charm more than makes up for it. The buffet breakfast was what dreams are made of. Cheeses from local pastures, honey straight off the comb, fresh pastries, the best coffee and espresso--and that's just a few of my favorites. You also have your pick of fresh fruit, cereals, pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, etc.

It wasn't the perfect weather (clouds covering mountains) during our visit but enjoyed every bit of it. Amazing and memorable views no matter where you look. Highly recommended and one of the must visit places while in Switzerland!

This village is another great starting point when traveling through Bernese Oberland. There are so…read moremany attractions in and around Grindelwald. The experiences can vary from day to day (and season to season) since there are so many different activities and sights to see in the area. You could really spend a whole week here. We started our journey to Jungfraujoch from the Grindelwald Terminal via the Eiger Express. It's the fastest way to get to Eiger Glacier station. There are some amazing views of Grindelwald and the Eiger during this 15 minute ride. After that, we walked through the main part of town to take in the Alpine scenery all around us. There are many shops, restaurants, and hotels decorated with flowering plants. They could all be that beautiful postcard picture with the Swiss chalet and mountain backdrop. It's no wonder why this has become a very popular resort village. Even the views between the houses and shops were amazing. It was a dream come true. A place that we always wanted to visit together. A very happy place!

We didn't count them or see them all, but we did see a sign leading the way to 67 falls. It's the perfect place to be for any traveler. Many were taking advantage of the beautiful weather at the Jungfrau Camping site that we passed through to get to the Weiss Lütschine River. This is where you can get an amazing view of the Lauterbrunnen Valley and village with Staubach falls in the background. There's many things to see along the trail on the river. The village is a great starting point for hiking trails, skiing, and chasing waterfalls. There's a BOB and WAB train station as well as a cableway connecting you to the BLM train station to Mirren. There are so many mountains & attractions that you can see just by taking these train routes from Lauterbrunnen. It's easy to see why this village is a popular destination. There are accommodations for just about every type of traveler. We could have easily spent a whole day here. Many people say that it's like being in a fairytale. It really is! It even inspired a young hiker named J.R.R. Tolkien to write a book about hobbits. The beauty of nature is magical. Don't pass it up when taking that journey through Bernese Oberland.

Yelp Review 2026 #116:…read more Staubbach Falls look like a page from a fairytale book. It's stunning and dreamlike. Lauterbrunnen is famous for having 72 waterfalls. Taking the train from Interlaken Ost to Lauterbrunnen, this is the first waterfall you'll see. You'll see 2 smaller ones within a quarter to half mile hike. You'll see flowers and lots of cows. The best angle is actually when you first see the waterfall. Not when you get closer or take a picture in front of it. It looks bigger from the side. There's a climb using stairs that would lead you to get closer to the waterfall. It's crowded and a lot of slow climbers. Be sure to eat before or after you start venturing to the other waterfalls. There are plenty of options between Staubbach Falls and the train station.

It's an easy walk from the village, which makes it accessible for all ages, and there's a short path that lets you get closer for an amazing view (and a little splash!). There are also several other less famous falls in the area as well as cows grazing in the field if you walk or bike into the village. The surrounding scenery is unreal: green meadows, steep cliffs, and charming Swiss chalets everywhere you look. It's peaceful, awe-inspiring, and perfect for photos.
