You step off the Bahnhofplatz and the Aare River threads through town, daring you to follow its current.

Interlaken’s modern grid sits where glacial forces carved a low-lying corridor between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. The town became an alpine gateway in the 19th century when British travelers popularized mountain tourism, and those influences show in hotel facades, promenades and carved fountains. The scavenger format emphasizes local culture: signs, plaques and shopfronts carry the answers, so history and everyday life become part of the game. The app-based route lets you linger at a riverside bench or sprint to a viewpoint—your pace, your choices.
Practicalities are straightforward: download the Explorial app, enter the access code, and follow the map. Most players finish in 1–2 hours; the experience is physically easy but requires a charged smartphone and comfortable shoes. Expect mixed pavement and short stair sections; weather can change fast in the alpine foothills, so plan layers and a lightweight rain shell. Respect private gardens and quiet hours in the evenings, and use public transportation if you want to extend the route to Unterseen or the lakeshore. This is a low-impact, high-engagement way to learn the city’s stories while moving through its streets.
Most participants complete the route in 1–2 hours depending on pace and how long you stop to read signs or take photos.
