Interlaken

Panoramic mountain views, lakeside cottages, chalets, as well as independent lodges and hostels are just a smidgen of the top choices. Some of the accommodation offer spa and massage services while others have onsite bars, discos, restaurants and activities. And some have it all. Lake lodges, backpacker hotels and family-geared chalets are just the tip of the glacier in Jungfrau.

Jungfrau Interlaken: A Ski Vacation Between The Lakes

Up in the canton of Bern in Switzerland lies one of the most attractive skiing destinations in Europe - Interlaken - the name a derivative of inter lacus or "between the lakes", referring to the Thun and Brienz Lakes on either side of the town. Interlaken is quite small, but tourist, skiers, backpackers and hikers trod through to take in the beautiful scenery, especially the Jungfrau at 4.158 meters in the distance. The small town surprisingly has two funicular railways and two railway stations. Interlaken is part of the Jungfrau Top Ski Region, encompassing over 160 km of trails. The median ski run length is six to twelve kilometers, offering a different ski area for each day of the week, accessible with the Jungfrau Sportpass. Beginners have 30%, intermediates have 50% and advanced have 20% of the ski slopes. The skiing is unsurpassed and the beauty is unforgiving. The summer brings a multitude of water sports enthusiasts.
INTERLAKEN ACCOMMODATION:
Interlaken hotels consistently receive good reviews in favor of the cleanliness of the accommodation, the accessibility of the slopes and the views of the surrounding scenery. Any one of the Interlaken lodges is a great place to spend the evening, though with luxury comes, of course, a Swiss price. Some reasonable prices emerge during the low season.
