Interlaken is a popular resort town located in Switzerland and is abundantly blessed with nature's wonders. The city is settled between two lakes and is surrounded by the icy peaks of the globally popular Jungfrau summit and follows the path of the mesmerising Aare river flowing through it.

The best time to visit the resort town is considered to be during the summers when the weather is pleasant and there is no rain or snow. Several activities can be enjoyed by adventure enthusiasts here such as rafting, canoeing, glacier climbing and many more.

Spring season

The spring season starts in March or April and goes on till May and blesses the town with lush greenery. Ice from the lakes begins to melt and so does the snow from the tree branches. Around this time, the cableways finally open up again. Although there are chances of sudden rain showers that can dampen the weather but they are not a common occurrence and hence sightseeing is always an option.

There can be instances where a few attractions and rides may be closed due to the snow from the last season. Early March would be a great time to visit the town. The spring season also lets one be the part of the Sechselauten festival and the Interlaken Music Festival.
