Arriving

Ost, however, is the station where most visitors arrive. Located on the far end of Interlaken, it is from here that trains leave to Brienz, Meiringen, Luzern, Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen.

  1. A hostel every so often tenders reserved rooms, same-gender shared rooms, or mixed-gender shares.
