Bratislava → Vienna Airport
VIP class
Interlaken lies in the heart of the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland, between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. It is the gateway to the Jungfrau region, with famous peaks such as the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, the railway to Jungfraujoch, the villages of Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen and Wengen, and endless options for hiking, skiing and adventure sports.
The distance from Vienna to Interlaken is approximately 850-900 km. It is a long journey, so here is a comparison of the main options.
Private transfer by car
The road route runs west via Linz, Salzburg and Innsbruck, across the Arlberg and through Vorarlberg into Switzerland, then past Zurich and Lucerne to Interlaken. The drive takes approximately 9-10 hours without long stops. A private transfer can pick you up anywhere in Vienna and take you directly to your hotel in Interlaken or a nearby mountain village.
- Door-to-door journey across Austria and Switzerland.
- Scenic stops possible in Salzburg, Innsbruck or Lucerne.
- Plenty of space for skis, hiking gear and family luggage.
- Two drivers can be arranged for a long non-stop trip.
Train
Long-distance trains run from Vienna to Zurich in approximately 8 hours. From Zurich, Swiss trains continue to Interlaken via Bern or Lucerne in about 2 hours. In total, plan for around 10-11 hours including changes. Night trains between Vienna and Zurich are also available on some dates.
Flight and car
The fastest option is to fly from Vienna to Zurich, which takes approximately 1.5 hours, and continue by car or train to Interlaken, about 2 hours. Including airport procedures, the whole trip takes around 5-6 hours. Many travellers book a private transfer from Zurich Airport for the final leg.
Bus
Long-distance buses connect Vienna and Zurich, usually overnight, and from there you continue by train. This is the cheapest, but also the slowest and least comfortable way.
Tips for your trip
Switzerland uses the Swiss franc and requires its own motorway vignette if you drive yourself.
In winter, check conditions on the Arlberg and carry winter equipment.
Switzerland is in the Schengen Area, but customs checks are possible, so keep your ID handy.
