You step onto the coach in Zurich as the city recedes and the peaks of the Bernese Oberland grow sharper in the rearview mirror. Alpine air slips through a window as the road winds past farmed meadows and waterfalls; by mid-morning the turquoise ribbon of Lake Brienz appears, bright against the dark fir slopes.

You step onto the coach in Zurich as the city recedes and the peaks of the Bernese Oberland grow sharper in the rearview mirror. Alpine air slips through a window as the road winds past farmed meadows and waterfalls; by mid-morning the turquoise ribbon of Lake Brienz appears, bright against the dark fir slopes.
Lake Brienz was carved by glaciers and its color comes from finely ground rock flour that catches the light. The jetboat briefing near Interlaken introduces a mix of local geology and marine technique; captains point out the Giessbach Falls, the craggy limestone layers, and the small, lakeside villages whose timber chalets recall 19th-century alpine tourism. Interlaken itself sits on a moraine between lakes Brienz and Thun and grew as a transport and hospitality hub for early travelers exploring the Alps.
The jetboat portion is a soft-adventure highlight: fast runs, controlled 360° spins, and close-up views of cliffs and waterfalls while life jackets and a safety briefing keep it accessible to most ages. After the ride you get time in Interlaken to walk the Höheweg promenade, browse outdoor shops, or grab a coffee with mountain views.
Practically, expect a long day—roughly 11 hours round trip—so dress in layers, bring wind- and water-resistant outerwear, sun protection, and secure footwear for wet decks. Minimum age is five; balance and basic mobility help for boarding. The trip is transport-heavy but low-impact physically, pairing an adrenaline-tinged water experience with relaxed town exploration.
The full tour is approximately 11 hours (660 minutes) including transport, briefing, the jetboat experience, and free time in Interlaken.
