Your Transfer: What to Expect

Pickup: Your driver collects you from your hotel, apartment, or any address in Lugano at the time you specify. No need to drag luggage to a train station or navigate public transport.

The Route: Your driver heads north from Lugano through the Gotthard tunnel — emerging from the Mediterranean-tinged Ticino into the green Alpine heartland — then continues through Lucerne and over the scenic Brünig Pass. The descent into the Brienz valley reveals turquoise Lake Brienz before arriving at Interlaken, spectacularly situated between its two lakes.

Duration & Traffic: Under normal conditions the drive takes approximately 1h 56m. The Gotthard tunnel can queue on holiday weekends (1–2 hours). The San Bernardino route is a viable alternative. The Brünig Pass road is scenic but winding.

Interlaken: What Awaits You

Interlaken is the adventure capital of Switzerland, sitting spectacularly between two lakes — Thunersee and Brienzersee — with the Jungfrau massif towering behind. Paragliding, canyoning, skydiving, bungy jumping, and jet-boat rides make it Switzerland's adrenaline hub. It's also the gateway to the Jungfraujoch 'Top of Europe' and the ski resorts of Grindelwald, Wengen, and Mürren. The Höhematte park, a vast green meadow in the town centre, provides an unobstructed panorama of the Jungfrau that few town centres in the world can rival. The Harder Kulm funicular climbs to a viewing platform with both lakes visible below.
