The
Jungfraujoch is the endpoint of the highest railway in Europe, at the
peak of the Jungfrau mountain. From her you can go sledding on the glacier,
walk through an ice palace, or shop & dine in the train station complex
built right into the side of the mountain. Along the way there, the train
stops at viewstations inside the mountain and you can look out onto the
glaciers.
-
Schilthorn
is the cheaper alternative to the Jungfraujoch, offers the same view but
from the other side of the valley & minus the glacier. On the mountain
peak is a revolving restaurant called the Piz Gloria, where the 007 flick
On Her Majesty's Secret Service was shot.

The
Truemmelbach Waterfalls are not very impressive as waterfalls, but
beautifully located in the mountains. The Truemmelbach Fall itself is not
to be missed. The sole outlet for glacial melt in the area, it cuts through
the *inside* of the mountain and can be accessed on foot via a lift. It
costs money to view, but is well worth it. The power of the moving water
is intense in such close quarters. You can reach this by bus... read

- Blaze of Glory in Switzerland by Travel Guy
Bernese
Oberland Featured Self-Catering / Interlaken
Hotels
Interlaken
is a stunning holiday destination in Switzerland. It is the main tourism
hub for the Bernese Oberland region in Switzerland and one of the top tourist
resorts in Europe. Interlaken means 'between the lakes' which is appropriate
as it is situated between lakes of Thun and Brienz, at the foot of Eiger,
Monch and Jungfrau.
 Interlaken
is one of the oldest tourist resorts in Switzerland and it remains one
of the most popular spot where yearly visitors far outnumber its permanent
inhabitants. The main attraction is probably the magnificent Jungfrau Mountain.
However, it also has some other attractions which you could very easily
surpass. While the Castle may not be that easy to miss, you should also
visit the castle church, the ancient monastery and the variety of fascinating
old buildings in the area.
Another
attraction that comes highly recommended is the open air Tell play. This
show tells the story of Schiller's William Tell and is performed each year
in the Rugen wood at Interlaken. It has been taking place since 1912 and
in the decades that have passed since the first performance, hundreds of
thousands of spectators have been entertained by this unique attraction.
The
tourist city is best known for the multitude of adventure sports. If you
are looking for a little intense sporting, then you are in the right place.
You can enjoy backpack, horseback ride, parasail and many more freaky sports.
To really take in the majesty of the Alps, It is recommended you pay the
money for a go at skydiving. You may have gone ski diving before, but nothing
compares to free falling down through the mountains of Switzerland.
You
can enjoy fairly stable and mild climate with simply beautiful surroundings
on your Interlaken tour. It attracts a large number of tourists who enjoy
Switzerland holidays in the summer with concerts, equestrian events, tennis,
hiking excursions and water sports. The surrounding countryside of the
Bernese Oberland is filled with mountain chalets, ski lodges, hilly pastures,
mountain peaks, glaciers and waterfalls, Alphorn blowers, yodelers and
horse-drawn sleighs.
The
town offers tourists a peaceful base to explore the surrounding areas by
train or bus. Make your Interlaken tour more exciting with a ride on the
train to the scenic mountains of nearby Jungfrau region, Kleine Scheidegg
or to the top of Jungfraujoch. Many Interlaken hotels are located along
the Höheweg Avenue which offers good views of the mountains.
