Engelberg to Interlaken, Iseltwald & Brienz – The Lakes and Valleys of Central Switzerland

Your journey begins in Engelberg, where snow-dusted peaks rise above a valley of forests and meadows. Your TripTransfer.ch chauffeur greets you for a scenic route toward Lake Lungern, a hidden gem of turquoise water and postcard-perfect reflection. Here you’ll have time to stretch your legs and take photos from the panoramic viewpoint overlooking the lake and village.

The road continues through green pastures and winding passes to Brienz, a serene lakeside town that feels frozen in time. Known as Switzerland’s woodcarving capital, Brienz’s streets are lined with hand-carved ornaments and traditional chalets. You can visit the small pier, watch boats gliding across the calm lake, or enjoy a coffee with views of the surrounding mountains.

Next comes Interlaken, the adventure capital of the Bernese Oberland. Between two lakes and beneath the snowcapped Jungfrau, Eiger, and Mönch peaks, Interlaken offers a perfect blend of alpine charm and vibrant life. Walk through Höheweg, framed by elegant hotels and gardens, visit boutique shops, or take a light lunch at one of the terraces overlooking Harder Kulm. If the weather allows, the funicular ride to Harder Kulm provides one of the best panoramic views in Switzerland — a true highlight of the day.

Before returning to Engelberg, your final stop is Iseltwald, a peaceful lakeside village on the southern shore of Lake Brienz. This fairytale-like setting has gained international fame for its appearance in “Crash Landing on You,” yet it remains beautifully quiet and authentic. Take a short walk along the pier, listen to the sound of the water lapping against the shore, and capture the postcard-perfect view of Schloss Seeburg in the distance.

The return journey to Engelberg takes you through the heart of Switzerland’s lake country — a drive filled with reflection, light, and mountain serenity.
