Interlaken is a great base for families who want to combine nature, mountains, lakes and memorable experiences. For families, the best activities are usually well organized, age-appropriate and easy to fit into a day plan. This page helps you find suitable tours for families, children and teenagers.
Our recommendation
For families, the best activities are usually well organized, flexible and not too stressful. E-bike tours, Lauterbrunnen, Jungfraujoch and private tours can be strong options depending on your children’s age, the weather and your available time.
Which activities are suitable for families?
Families often need different criteria than solo travelers or adventure groups. Clear schedules, suitable duration, easy organization and flexibility are especially important. With younger children, it is usually better not to plan too many activities in one day.
- •Prefer short to medium-length activities
- •Check weather and cancellation conditions
- •Pay attention to age and safety requirements
- •Choose flexible options when traveling with several children
- •Teenagers may enjoy more active experiences
Find the right fit for your family

Choose easier outings, lakes, Lauterbrunnen or well-organized day trips with a clear structure.

E-bike tours, paragliding, canyoning or rafting can be exciting, but always check age and safety requirements.
With limited time
Choose an easy-to-plan activity such as Lauterbrunnen, an e-bike tour or a private overview tour.

Which activities are suitable for families with younger children?
Lauterbrunnen with cogwheel train and cable car to Mürren, easy lake cruises and short e-bike rides along the lakeshore are usually the most relaxed options for younger kids.
Are the tours suitable for teenagers?
Yes — Jungfraujoch, Schilthorn, e-bike tours to Iseltwald and private tours with flexible routing tend to work very well with teenagers.
What activity makes sense in bad weather?
Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn stay impressive even with low clouds at lake level, and private tours can be adapted to the weather on the day.
Should I book family activities in Interlaken in advance?
Yes. In summer and on weekends, family-friendly tours are often booked out several days in advance — reserving early is strongly recommended.
Which tour is worth it if we only have one day in Interlaken?
With kids, the Jungfraujoch day trip or a relaxed e-bike tour around the lakes usually offers the best mix of scenery and easy logistics.
Are adventure activities like canyoning or rafting suitable for children?
Most providers set minimum age and height limits. Always check the specific tour requirements on Viator before booking with younger children.
Is Jungfraujoch suitable for families?
Yes, but keep the altitude in mind (3,454 m). Plan a calm pace, drink plenty of water and don’t over-pack the day.
Which tour is the most relaxed option for families?
Lauterbrunnen & Mürren is usually the most relaxed full-day option: short transfers, easy walks and impressive scenery without much effort.
