Experience the thrill of stopping high in the Alps at a small rail station, where rustic alpine chalet's with window boxes ablaze with vibrant colored flowers are in full bloom. Waterfalls, lakes and 900-year old forests of greens, reds, oranges, yellows and rust, dot the rolling landscape.

Rail Pass

Your included Swiss Rail Pass, entitles you to unlimited trips on the entire network of the Swiss Travel System covering almost 13,000 miles of railways, lake steamers, funiculars, and postal bus routes as well as the urban transit systems in many Swiss cities.

In a letter to his mother in 1842, the great German composer, Mendelssohn wrote:

"Those who have not seen the scenery of Interlaken, do not know Switzerland. For the region between the lakes of Thun and Brienz, is the finest of all in this unbelievably beautiful country. There is no sense in description, because words alone can not do it justice."
