Interlaken

A popular steam railway runs from Brienz to the summit of Brienz Rothorn. Brienz is located on the opposite end of Lake Brienz from Interlaken, a 20 minute drive away. UK travel site Wanderlust has a good overview of sites in the area.

The railway terminus at the summit is close to the Berghaus Alpine Lodge located at 2,266m (7,434ft). You can just eat at the restaurant or stay overnight and enjoy the spectacular view — of 693 surrounding Alpine peaks! (From CHF82/night)

A nice tour of Lake Brienz is available on the paddle steamer Lotschberg which boards from both Interlaken and Brienz.

High above Interlaken is the Harder Kulm Restauarant which provides spectacular views of both Lake Thun and Lake Brienz.
