Adventure Hostel Interlaken

Adventure Hostel Interlaken is a backpacker hostel at Seestrasse 44 in Unterseen, west of Interlaken West station, in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland. Unterseen is the old town on the Aare's western bank, merging with Interlaken, and the Seestrasse runs toward Lake Thun. The hostel is therefore on the lake side of town, away from the Höheweg promenade, and travellers can reach Interlaken West station and the lake boat landing without a long walk. Interlaken Ost, the departure point for mountain trains to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen and the Jungfrau region, is a short train ride away.

The hostel offers dormitory beds and private rooms. Indicative prices are about CHF 40 to 90 per dorm bed, with private rooms from about CHF 110, depending on season. These rates are modest for a destination where hotel prices climb steeply in summer. Details of kitchens, breakfast, common areas, lockers and bathrooms are not recorded in the available data, so visitors should confirm them before arrival.

The name reflects the character of Interlaken itself, which is Switzerland's centre for adventure tourism. Paragliding, canyoning, skydiving, hiking, rafting and boat trips are all offered by local operators, and hostels in the area commonly act as meeting points for guests who join the same excursions. The west-side location suits visitors who want to be near Lake Thun and the walking paths along the Aare, while still within easy reach of the town centre by foot or a short ride.

The hostel suits solo travellers, small groups and budget-conscious visitors who want to meet other travellers. Dorm beds fill quickly in July and August, so early reservation is advisable, and shoulder seasons are calmer and cheaper. Winter draws visitors heading to the nearby ski areas. The hostel can be contacted on +41 79 827 27 27 or through adventure-hostel.com. Private rooms are available for those who want more quiet than a shared dormitory provides.
