Wedding in Interlaken & Jungfrau Region
Switzerland
Why choose Interlaken & Jungfrau Region for your wedding?
Interlaken sits wedged between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz - the base for excursions to Jungfraujoch (3,454 m), the Lauterbrunnen valley and the Schilthorn. Lauterbrunnen is a U-shaped glacial valley with 72 waterfalls (most famously Staubbach Falls at 297 metres) and inspired Tolkien's Rivendell. For couples wanting the full Alpine drama on the "Top of Europe", the Jungfrau region pairs accessible logistics with unmatched altitude.
Travel: London-Zurich 1h 50min, then train via Bern to Interlaken Ost, total around 4 hours. The Jungfraubahn mountain rail network includes funicular, cogwheel and the highest railway station on the planet. Outdoor valley weddings run May to October (15-24°C), while Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn are snow-bound year-round and allow "snow weddings" even in August. June daylight is 16 hours; winter delivers 8.
Weddings in Interlaken & Jungfrau Region - style, venues and atmosphere
The Jungfrau region offers the broadest range of Alpine ceremony venues in Switzerland. At valley level, the classics are Hotel Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa in Interlaken (open since 1865, 224 rooms, CHF 580-1,800 per room) and Beausite Park Hotel in Wengen - 1,274 m altitude, car-free village, panoramic views to the Eiger north face.
The signature high-altitude venues are Jungfraujoch (3,454 m), the "Top of Europe", where the Jungfraubahn takes 35 minutes from Kleine Scheidegg at CHF 199 per person one-way. Ceremony packages from CHF 3,500 include private suite, officiant and two witnesses, with capacity for up to 30 guests. More dramatic still is the Schilthorn (Piz Gloria, 2,970 m) - the revolving restaurant that served as the Bond villain's lair in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" - which has a wedding suite with 360-degree views and seats 50 (packages from CHF 4,800).
Lauterbrunnen valley offers a middle ground: Tellpark by Trümmelbach Falls and Hotel Silberhorn host valley-floor ceremonies with the waterfalls behind. For couples wanting helicopter transfers to inaccessible peaks, BOHAG and Air Glaciers offer packages (CHF 2,800-6,500 per flight) to the eastern flank of Jungfraujoch. Budget EUR 33,000-86,000 in total for 30 guests including 3 nights, ceremony and dinner. Swiss legal weddings need 4-6 weeks' notice to the Zivilstandsamt Interlaken and apostilled documents.
