The adventure capital of Switzerland,
Interlaken
is beautifully surrounded by lakes. But
it's easy to quickly be drawn to towns and villages that dot the sides of the
magnificent
Alps
stretching out before you. Names like
Grindelwald
,
Wengen
and
Mürren
are the
stuff of summer and winter legends.
INTERLAKEN JUNGFRAUJOCH

One of the world's great journeys takes three trains from Interlaken, each surmounting
tracks more precipitous than the last. You start in a beautiful river valley to
Lauter-
brunnen
and then change trains for a ride filled with views to the Alpine outpost of
Kleine Scheidegg
. A final switch and you are on a train that bores up through the moun-
tain to the summit of
Jungfraujoch
. Once at the top, you won't be able to get enough of
the
Alpine wonderland views
(although you'll need to return to Interlaken before the last
trains.)
INTERLAKEN LUCERNE

link the old town of this fabled city of cuteness. Wander
the lakefront for lovely views and take in plenty of attractions along the way. If you have
time there are more Alpine day trips here (such as

and
Mt Titlis
).
LUCERNE ZÜRICH

Another place that makes full use of its namesake lake, the largest city in Switzerland
combines conservative tradition with cutting-edge fun. In summer, swim in the lake from
one of many
lakeside cafes
and
clubs
or head to trendy districts and watch movies out-
side. At any time you can get lost in the city's excellent
museums
.
