Buses from Interlaken

Interlaken's main hub is Interlaken Ost (East) station. This is the central point for PostBus services and regional buses. For connections to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, and other villages, you'll almost always depart from here. The station is integrated with the train station, making transfers smooth.

The easiest way is to buy tickets directly from the driver using cash (Swiss Francs) or card. For regional travel, you can also purchase tickets at the SBB ticket counters or machines at Interlaken Ost or West stations. For multi-day travel, consider a regional pass, which you can check for and purchase through our booking partners.

Yes. PostBuses have dedicated luggage compartments. There is no formal fee for standard suitcases or backpacks. Space can be limited on popular routes, so it's best to board early. Always keep valuables and essentials with you in the passenger cabin.

Absolutely. Buses are essential for reaching many villages. A bus from Interlaken Ost connects directly to Lauterbrunnen. For car-free villages like Mürren or Wengen, you take a bus to the valley station (e.g., Lauterbrunnen or Stechelberg), then connect to a cable car or mountain train.

PostBus (yellow buses) operates regional and long-distance routes, like Interlaken to mountain valleys. Local town buses (often green/white) serve shorter routes within Interlaken and to nearby suburbs. Both are part of the integrated public transport network, and tickets or passes are generally valid on both.

Swiss PostBus services are extremely reliable and coordinated with train schedules. Frequency varies by destination: main routes to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald have regular service throughout the day, while services to smaller villages may be less frequent, in the evening or off-season. Always check the latest timetable.

No, seat reservations are not required or typically available on standard regional PostBus routes. All travel is on a first-come, first-served basis. During peak tourist season on popular routes (e.g., to Trümmelbach Falls), buses can fill up, so plan accordingly and allow extra time.
