Beatenberg

Hidden Gem in Switzerland

Visitors no doubt come to Switzerland for the spectacular mountain scenery. Most tour information would have listed Interlaken as one of the places to visit in Switzerland. Bearing that, there are lots of people in the Interlaken area mostly up there in the resorts like Grindelwald, Wengen and Murren. The view from Jungfraujoch is breathtaking. The ski slopes so white and soft, so inviting for the skiers and snowboarders.

How to get here

By bus from Interlaken West train station. If staying in Interlaken East and there is no direct connection, hop on the bus or train to Interlaken West. The schedule is listed at the bus stop or train station.

You catch glimpses of Lake Thun as the bus climbs higher and the fog becomes more prominent above the valley. So high up on the mountains, the sky looks so blue, the snow glistens and it is so sunny!
