About Interlaken West

The older of Interlaken's two railway stations by only a couple of years, Interlaken West was first opened in 1872. However, Interlaken Ost gradually became the more important station of the two, as it sits on three different major railway lines. Now, Interlaken West is mostly used by regional trains that connect it to other cities in Switzerland. However, it does also have some international routes, specifically ones that run to Berlin and Hamburg.

Interlaken Ost is a little closer to the center of the city than Interlaken West, but is not a big difference if you're trying to choose between the two stations. The stations are close enough together that you can walk from one to the other if you need to transfer between trains. And if you do arrive in Interlaken West from outside town, you won't have to go very far at all to enjoy Interlaken and everything it has to offer.

You'll have a much better time if you take advantage of luggage lockers or luggage storage facilities to store luggage so that you're not carrying more than you need to. Interlaken West does offer a couple of different locker sizes so you can store bags and suitcases, but these self-service coin-operated lockers are limited in the size of bags they can take. Furthermore, you'll need Swiss coins to operate them. There is no manned left luggage office here.

For a more convenient option, Bounce is recommended. Partnering with local shops, Bounce offers left luggage facilities in Interlaken and various cities worldwide. Whether you need to store a single bag for a few hours or multiple suitcases for an extended period, the Bounce app allows you to locate storage facilities, check opening hours, and book luggage storage online. Traveling light has never been easier, so take advantage of Bounce's services to fully enjoy all that Interlaken has to offer its visitors.

Transport options at Interlaken West

Interlaken West Ferry Terminal

The Interlaken shipping canal links the town to the stunning Lake Brienz and the Aare River. Just outside the railway station, you'll discover a ferry terminal serviced by multiple lines of the local ferry, providing transportation to towns along the lakeshore. Not only is this an excellent means of getting around, but it also offers a wonderfully relaxing way to immerse yourself in the scenic beauty of this mountainous region. The ferry rides resemble mini cruises and are surprisingly affordable. Consider dropping off your bags at a nearby left luggage facility before embarking on a leisurely ferry ride on the water.

Local tips and insider info

  • Switzerland is not part of the EU and has its currency, the Swiss franc. You'll find a currency exchange inside Interlaken West railway station, but it doesn't always offer the best rates available. It can be cheaper to use credit cards and accept your bank's exchange rate or even use your bank card to take cash right out of the ATM. Before doing that, though, it's a good idea to check with your bank so you have a good idea of their fees and policies.
  • Most restaurants and bars in Switzerland include a service charge as part of the bill. Therefore, there's no need to tip, and it's quite unusual to do so here. Only leave some cash on the table in cases of exceptional service.
  • Sunday opening hours are very much a thing in Switzerland. Many shops and businesses don't open at all on Sundays, so plan accordingly if you want to do some shopping.

Conclusion

Along with Interlaken Ost, Interlaken West makes it easy to get to the city from Lucerne Railway Station and places further afield, like Berlin Hauptbahnhof. Once you're in town, don't forget to store luggage at a convenient luggage storage so you can enjoy Interlaken without carrying heavy suitcases and bags with you.
