Staying in the Interlaken à 14 Area
The à 14 designation groups properties spread along the wider Interlaken region, taking in the valley floor between Lake Brienz to the east and Lake Thun to the west, as well as nearby villages such as Brienz and the lower approaches to Grindelwald. The landscape here is the main draw: glacier-fed rivers, forested hillsides, and the permanent backdrop of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massif. Train connections on the Bernese Oberland Railway and the BOB mountain line mean that even properties sitting a few kilometres outside central Interlaken can reach the Jungfraujoch departure point at Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen within thirty to forty minutes.
Who This Area Suits
Travellers who prioritise scenery over nightlife will feel at home here. Hikers benefit from direct trail access to the Harder Kulm, the Schynige Platte, and the paths ringing Lake Brienz. Families appreciate the relatively quieter roads and the proximity to the Swiss Open-Air Museum at Ballenberg near Brienz. Budget travellers can anchor at the Youth Hostel Grindelwald at around 263 euros per night, while those looking for something more refined can consider the four-star Grandhotel Giessbach at 443 euros, perched above Lake Brienz and reached by a historic funicular. Mid-range options such as Hotel Baeren at 174 euros per night and Hotel Edelweiss Superior at 334 euros with a 4.7 out of 5 rating provide solid comfort without the premium price of resort-centre addresses.
