Trains from Paris to Interlaken
Between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz in the Bernese Oberland lies Interlaken, and the Paris train reaches it across the whole of eastern France, through the border into Switzerland and along the lakes into the mountains. It is the route for walkers and skiers heading for the Jungfrau region, for families on a Swiss holiday who prefer the ground to the air, and for travellers on a rail tour of the Alps. The journey ends among the peaks, with the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau in view from the valley.

About the Paris to Interlaken train
The search shows whether you change trains on the way and where; settle when you go and who is going before you look. Interlaken to Paris, the return, has a search of its own on AI Concierge. France gives way to Switzerland on the way, so pack the ID the operator asks for and look up the Swiss entry rules for your passport beforehand. Which Interlaken station matters: Ost serves the mountain trains and the Lake Brienz boats, West is closer to the shops along the Höheweg. Check your hotel's side of town before choosing. The town is small and flat, with paragliders landing on the meadow in the middle and the Harder Kulm funicular climbing from near Ost. Staying by Ost suits a mountain-focused trip; the centre near West suits an evening in town after a day on the lakes. The hotels here are the catalogue's sample, with more in the search.
