Driving in Switzerland can be quite different from driving in the UK, especially due to Switzerland's right-hand traffic, which may take some getting used to for British drivers. However, the Swiss follow the rules diligently, making it relatively easy for foreign drivers to adapt.

Top Recommendations for Car Types

The compact and convenient mid-size or standard cars are the most popular choice of rental vehicle. They're well suited to Switzerland's winding mountain roads and urban areas alike. For those planning to hit Switzerland's ski slopes, SUVs with four-wheel drive make for a comfortable and safe journey.

Road Routes and Scenic Drives

Driving for the sheer pleasure of it is a joy in Interlaken. The Grand Tour of Switzerland, which starts in Geneva and ends in Lucerne, runs through Bern and showcases Switzerland's cultural and scenic diversity.

Parking and Mobility

Interlaken has a wealth of car parks in and around the town, ensuring ease of parking. However, finding a free spot can be tricky during peak tourist season.

Climate and Clothing Advice

The climate varies across Switzerland, but the average summer temperature in Interlaken is around 25°C (77°F), while in winter it drops to below freezing. Ensure you pack clothing suitable for the season and your planned activities.

Swiss Franc and Pricing

The Swiss Franc (CHF) is the local currency. Bear in mind that Switzerland, although in the heart of Europe, is not part of the Eurozone. Check the latest exchange rates for the most accurate pricing.

Best Time to Visit

While the best time to visit Interlaken really depends on your preferred activities, the summer months of June to September are ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities, such as hiking, lake cruises, and sightseeing. For snow sports enthusiasts, the winter months from December to February are perfect.

Swiss Customs and Etiquette

Swiss people are generally known for their punctuality, respect for rules, and privacy. It's important to greet people with a friendly 'Grüezi' (hello) and to respect the country's quiet hours, especially in shared accommodation.

Final Words

Experience the best of Switzerland at your own pace. Consider taking a rental car and immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and stunning natural beauty of Interlaken. Ensuring a memorable holiday, the ease and freedom of a self-drive tour are hard to match. Book your rental car now and get ready for an unforgettable journey!
