"As in a dream!" Lord Byron apparently exclaimed on seeing the views of Interlaken and area. Felix Mendelssohn wrote to his mother:"Anyone who has not seen Interlaken's vistas does not know Switzerland." Nestling between the lakes of Thun and Brienz at 570 m/ 1817 ft.a.s.l. Interlaken lies at the foot of the world famous peaks Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. This cosmopolitan town with its luxury hotels and others set in extensive parklands has long been a magnet for tourists, but has maintained the traditional charm of a Swiss village. Just breathing in the clean mountain air makes you feel better. Here congresses are staged in elegant Art Nouveau rooms equipped with the latest technology.
