But it's not all hostels and cheap hotels, the best places to stay in Interlaken provide you with comfort and the highest of Swiss standards.
Mainly German-speaking and at an altitude of nearly 2,000 feet, the town sits between the lakes Thun and Brienz (hence its name!) and it lies at the feet of the Jungfrau mountain region; featuring the iconic peaks of the Jungfrau, Monch and Eiger.

The best places to stay in Interlaken are busy year round but particularly so in the winter ski season, so if you're planning a visit, don't leave it to the last minute to book.
