PERSONAL TRIP PLANNING · INTERLAKEN
Not sure which tours are worth it, where to stay or how to plan your days? We help you create a practical trip plan from a local host perspective.
Created by Ronny & Mariana, hosts of AlpineLake Apartments in the Bernese Oberland.
Interlaken is beautiful — but planning can quickly become confusing. Jungfraujoch or Schilthorn? Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald? Which tour is worth it in bad weather? Where should you stay? And what works without a car?
Many travellers try to fit too much into too little time or underestimate weather, transport and distances. This is where personal trip planning helps: we help you combine weather, time, budget, accommodation and tours in a practical way.
A good trip plan does not just save time — it can also help you avoid expensive planning mistakes.
We help you decide which tours actually fit your trip — and which ones may not be worth it for your situation.
We help you plan realistic days without trying to fit too many places or activities into one day.
We check whether your base makes sense for your planned tours, train stations and day trips.
We suggest realistic Plan B options for rain, fog, wind or poor visibility.
We help you understand the region by train, bus and boat so your plan stays realistic.
We show what should be checked or booked early and what can stay flexible.
Choose the package that fits your planning needs. You can also send a request first if you are not sure which package makes sense.

Local hosts
We are hosts of AlpineLake Apartments in the Bernese Oberland and regularly help guests with questions about tours, accommodation, weather, transport and daily planning.
Many pages on InterlakenToursGuide.com come from real questions guests ask us. That is why we think about trip planning not only from the tour perspective, but also from the perspective of accommodation, public transport, weather and realistic daily flow.
Many trip plans only work well if the accommodation base also fits. That is why our trip planning looks not only at tours, but also at whether your base makes sense for day trips, public transport, weather and trip length.
If you have not booked accommodation yet, AlpineLake Apartments such as Perle du Lac in Gunten can be a suitable option — especially if you want calm, lake views and good access.

We usually reply within 24–48 hours. For very short-notice requests, not every package may be realistic.
