Unterseen

Start your tour with "leaving" Interlaken and crossing the Aare river to the independent community of Unterseen. The centerpiece is the Stadthausplatz.

Aare river

Return from historic Unterseen to Interlaken by crossing the Aare river again. Passing the lock and getting into the heart of Interlaken.

Kursaal

The first thing to be walled in in 1946 was the open concert hall with glass windows. After completion of the construction work (new garden design, fountain, flower clock), the Kursaal was reopened. From 1955 to 1958, after further renovations, a small gaming room was added next to the bar.

Höhenmatte

The Höhenmatte is a large green area directly in Interlaken. The 14-hectare area offers great views of the mountains of the Jungfrau region, among other things. In this park there is not only the beautiful landscape, but also a variety of regularly held events and the landings of paragliders.

Victoria Jungfrau Hotel

Dating back to 1865, this country hotel combines old-world perfection with sleek, modern touches.
