Switzerland Bern Interlaken

The town is principally a base from which to explore the surrounding areas. Among the main attractions are the mountains of the Jungfrau region. While the peaks of these mountains are accessible only to mountaineers, a sequence of connecting mountain railways gives access to the Jungfraujoch, a coll between the Jungfrau and the Monch, the highest point in Europe reachable by train. Jungfrau Park, an amusement park, is situated south of Interlaken. Interlaken has a large selection of hotels, and is also a destination for backpackers. It has numerous backpacker-friendly hostels and companies providing guided services in skydiving, canyoning, hang gliding, paragliding, and skiing.
