Scenically nestled between two lakes (Lake Thun and Lake Brienz), the town of Interlaken has a great deal to offer visitors to Switzerland. In addition to its lakeside location, the town is also surrounded by some of Switzerland's most iconic mountains and offers daredevils a wide selection of adventure sports, including parasailing, river rafting, canyoning, and skydiving. For the less adventurous there are many guided walking tours and scenic boat trips on the lakes. You can spend a wonderful day travelling up to the top of the snow-covered Jongfraujoch on the remarkably steep cogwheel railway - when you reach the summit you have the chance to walk through some glacial ice passages.
