Interlaken Ski Transfers – Private Airport Transfers to the Bernese Oberland

Interlaken sits at 566 m on the flat strip between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau filling the view south. It is the transport hub of the region: two stations, boats on both lakes, and trains every half-hour into the mountains. People stay here for the price, the choice of hotels and the ease of moving around — not for skiing out of the door.

For a winter trip, that makes it a practical base: Grindelwald is 20 km by road, Lauterbrunnen 12 km, Wengen and Mürren a train ride above them, and Adelboden and Gstaad within an hour’s drive.

Which airport for Interlaken?

Bern (BRN) — 51 km, about 50 minutes

The closest airport by a wide margin, on a motorway that follows Lake Thun. Its scheduled timetable is thin, so check the flights before you plan around it.

Zurich (ZRH) — 139 km, about 2 h 20

The main Swiss hub: flights all week, long-haul connections, motorway the whole way through Bern.

Geneva (GVA) — 216 km, about 2 h 40

The widest European choice. Longer, but frequently cheaper, and the drive along the lakes is an easy one.

Milan Malpensa (MXP) — 251 km, about 3 h 35

Through the Simplon or by the rail shuttle at Kandersteg, depending on conditions. Worth comparing for flights from southern Europe.

Winter, luggage and booking

The approach is motorway and lakeside road at low altitude, cleared through the season: this is one of the easier arrivals in the Alps in bad weather. Our vehicles carry winter tyres and chains. Ski and board bags travel free, child and booster seats are included and fitted before departure, and we take you on to the villages above if that is where you are staying — tell us the address when you book.
