    Hi,

    My wife and I will be travelling to Switzerland from September 4, 2018 to September 14, 2018. Our tentative itinerary is as below (we will be flying into and out of Zurich):

    1 night in Zurich (the day we arrive)

    5 nights in Interlaken or nearby area

    4 nights in Lucerne

    In Interlaken (or nearby area) & Lucerne, we would like to stay in an apartment with a kitchen and washing machine. Our budget is around CHF 100 – 120 per night. We will be using the Swiss Rail Pass for our travel.

    We were not able to find accomodation in Interlaken to suit our budget. Can you recommend an area near Interlaken which may suit our budget and is transport friendly too.

    Thanking you.

    Sincerely yours,

    Rakesh

    Mr. Lucas,

    Thank you for your prompt reply.

    We would, though, like to stay in an apartment with a kitchen and washing machine. I would appreciate if you could suggest any in Interlaken. If not, which town/s would be the next best to fit within our budget and transport friendly for our travel?

    Thanking you.

    Rakesh

    try this site. http://www.thunersee.ch/en. we have used it to find accommodation before – you can specify apartments in your search. Transport links are excellent from Thun.

    Hi Rakesh

    You might want to try the Matten bei Interlakken area . We stayed in a nice apt (with the amenities you seek) with a good view of Jungrauch . We used airbnb to identify it.

    You also have some apts in the vicinity of the station ..but they could be a little noisy . A 5 mins drive (bus access is there) into Matten bei Intelakken ..you can stay in quiet neighbourhoods disturbed only by cowbells.

    I’d search hotelscombined for options around Interlaken. You can filter for apartments but finding an apartment for under 120chf will be tricky!

    Perhaps the Ferrari Apartment?

    Thank you Mr. Lucas, Ms. Midge & Travelholic6 for your reply.

    Is it possible to do day trip from Interlaken area to Zermatt or Montreux or Chamonix or Geneve?
