Interlaken

Harder Kulm
Take the funicular up to Harder Kulm, Interlaken's "Top of Interlaken," for stunning panoramic views of the Jungfrau, Eiger, and Mönch mountains, along with Lake Thun and Lake Brienz.

Paragliding
Experience the thrill of paragliding over Interlaken, offering a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding mountains, lakes, and lush landscapes—a true adrenaline rush in the heart of the Alps.

Lake Thun & Lake Brienz
Explore the crystal-clear waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz with boat cruises or lakeside hikes. Both lakes offer scenic beauty, charming villages, and plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures.
Interlaken is where the mountains meet the madness. Seriously, this place is an adrenaline junkie’s dream. It’s like Switzerland decided to create a playground for thrill-seekers and just went all out. Sandwiched between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, it’s the perfect basecamp for epic adventures.
Feel like you’re touching the sky? Take the train up to Jungfraujoch. They call it the “Top of Europe” for a reason. You’ll be standing on a glacier, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, and feeling like you’re on top of the world. It’s the kind of experience that’ll leave you speechless.
If you’re more of a hands-on kind of person, there’s no shortage of ways to get your heart racing. Paragliding, skydiving, skiing – you name it, Interlaken’s got it. Imagine soaring through the sky, with the Alps as your backdrop. Or skiing down pristine slopes, feeling the wind whip past your face. It’s pure exhilaration.
If you need a break from the adrenaline rush? Cruise on Lake Thun or Lake Brienz. These lakes are like giant, sparkling jewels surrounded by mountains. Picture yourself on a boat, sipping a glass of wine, and soaking up the scenery. It’s the perfect way to recharge before your next adventure.
And then there’s Trümmelbach Falls. This isn’t your average waterfall. It’s a hidden gem tucked inside a mountain. Imagine rushing water carving its way through rock, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. It’s like nature’s own water park, but way cooler.
After all that excitement, you’ll need to refuel. Swiss fondue is a must-try. It’s cheesy, gooey goodness that will warm you up from the inside out. And don’t forget to try some traditional Alpine dishes. They’re hearty, flavorful, and the perfect way to end a day of adventure.
When you need a breather from all the action, head to Höhematte Park. It’s a green oasis in the heart of Interlaken. Pack a picnic, find a shady spot, and just chill. It’s the perfect place to unwind and soak up the mountain air.
Interlaken is more than just a place; it’s a feeling. It’s about pushing your limits, embracing the outdoors, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. So what are you waiting for? Book Switzerland vacations and get ready for the adventure of your life.

EXCELLENT Based on 517 reviews Ashton Parchman22 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved working with Shannon on our spring break trip! Madison Otte21 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Felicia planned an AMAZING trip for my husband and I to London! She was very attentive to what we wanted, while also providing unforgettable options/excursions. She planned everything from hotels, transportation, reservations, etc; which caused me no anxiety and the ability to truly enjoy the trip. The trip was a huge success! We will definitely use Felicia again. Matthew Whittlesey21 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Travel Byrds and Sylvie for the first time to plan our European trip to Italy and France and we could not have been happier! Planning a trip like this – 2 countries, 4 towns, 5 flights (and 2 trains!) was daunting enough from a logistical perspective but Sylvie set us up with everything we needed! She coordinated the travel, the timing, arranged drivers when they were needed, helped us navigate challenges in real time and even provided us with an app that consolidated everything in one place! We all met in advance of the trip several times to work out ideas, talk hotels, plan dinner reservations and of course, discuss the things we wanted to do! All we really had to do was follow the daily schedule and enjoy the experiences! Her personal relationships with many of the providers ensured that we were well taken care of and that our events would be great! From walking the streets of Pompeii with our own private tour guide to lunch on the Amalfi Coast through cocktails in the shadow of the Coliseum, we crossed the pond to come home with memories of a lifetime and cannot thank Sylvie and Travel Byrds enough!

Note to self - Always ask Monica Bowen to make the arrangements for a vacation in Ireland or anywhere else. She gets six stars (because five are not enough) for finding a lovely cottage in Lahinch, Co. Clare. I am sharing a photo of the view from the deck. The itinerary was cleverly laid out with maps, phone numbers and suggestions of what to see. Monica will do all the work so that you can enjoy and not fret about a single thing. Thank you, Monica, so very much! Stacia C18 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nikki, our travel agent, was assigned to us for an international trip to the Canary Islands and Spain. I began working with Travel Byrds 3 months prior to our trip. The positive aspects were great. The experiences we booked were incredible, most hotels were lovely and the birthday surprises were truly special. The details in one app and the need to know list were extremely helpful and convenient. Most recommendations were thoughtful. However, the negatives were significant. Nikki’s attention to detail was lacking. She delayed follow-ups until the holiday week and conveniently blamed staff shortages due to the time of the year. Small but important, we were missing also missing a tour voucher in the app. There was a major issue with Marriott. Nikki claimed that she resolved this issue. The information for the last hotel would not appear in the Marriott app which was very concerning. I had been booked under a different name for check-in (no clue why), which caused a discrepancy for adding additional points to my Bonvoy account. I personally contacted Marriott to resolve the issue, and the process was quite lengthy. Lastly, we had agreed to a hotel recommendation that was extremely outdated and failed to meet the standards of the other accommodations we had booked. I would definitely use Travel Byrds again, but with a different travel agent. carrie ferguson9 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Krista Friar planned some great outings for me and a friend in Iceland and Germany. After asking us about what we wanted to see, she booked us for sightseeing and lodging. Some highlights included waterfalls and black sand beach on the south coast of Iceland. In Germany, we enjoyed museums and historical sites. I would welcome her again on my next trip planning team. Hailey Osbon16 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Forever thankful for Kaitlyn Skapura and her expertise on all things France! We had the trio of a lifetime!! Janice Chapin5 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Third time using Travel Byrds and yet again they nailed it. Worked with Lauren this time and she was easy to work with and found us a great vacation that we will remember for a lifetime. Thank you again and look forward to planning the next one with you! Corinne Holmes21 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tera helped us plan an incredible two week honeymoon to Italy! She booked all of our travel needs, activities and tours. She provided a ton of recommendations and was super responsive and informative. She even assisted us with a last minute booking after our original wine tasting/tour was cancelled. We can’t recommend her enough and look forward to working with her on future trips! Thank you so much for helping us craft a wonderful trip for this momentous occasion. Sally Schott15 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have worked with Felicia on our last two trips (and are currently planning our next two trips with her!). She is thorough and thoughtful and we couldn’t be happier with the results. She has great ideas and does a lot of research to make choices to offer to us. When we had a travel issue she jumped in quickly to solve it for us. Travel with her help is so much easier and we enjoy expanding our horizons with the ideas she offers us. I would 100% recommend her.
