With plenty to pique the gourmet’s interest, Interlaken and the Jungfrau region offer much more than picturesque mountain views
Interlaken, located ‘between two lakes’, is a resort town straddling Lake Brienz and Lake Thun. Its location at the foot of the Bernese Alps makes it a perfect gateway to the Jungfrau region. Among the many possible excursions from Interlaken, a visit to Europe’s highest-altitude railway station—Jungfraujoch-Top of Europe, situated 3,454m above sea level, is by far the most popular. From its perch, views of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains and the Great Aletsch Glacier are simply unparalleled. But a feast of the senses is not complete if it’s just for the eyes. Here are some gourmet activities that will tantilise even the most discerning taste buds.
