    Hello, I will spend 3 full days in Interlaken with my wife.

    Can you tell me what is best to visit and with which package?

    For my part I hesitate (or do both) with the Jungfraujoch mountain and the Schilthorn mountain, do the Harder Kulm and also boat trips on the lakes.

    I thank you in advance for your valuable information.

    Best regards,

    Hi Laurent,

    All the mountains you have listed are popular choices 🙂

    Please correct me if I have misunderstood but by package, do you mean a rail pass?  Based on your 3 days in Interlaken and if you are planning to visit the mountains listed and enjoy a boat cruise on Lake Thun or Lake Brienz. I would recommend the Jungfrau Travel Pass.  You can read all about the pass and what it includes in our Jungfrau Travel Pass guide below:

    You would have enough time to visit all 3 mountains and have a boat cruise during your 3 days.

    For example:

    Day 1:  Harder Kulm and boat cruise

    Day 2: Jungfraujoch

    Day 3: Schilthorn

    Be sure to read about these excursions in our Jungfrau region guide, that way you can plan their journeys accordingly.

    Here’s the guide:  https://www.myswissalps.com/region/jungfrau-region/

    (Should you have additional plans whilst in Switzerland, then a different pass may be better value if you are covering more of Switzerland).

    Kind regards,

    Yolanda
