Fastest way from Paris to Interlaken.

My parents and I are going back to Europe next June and are planning to go from Paris to Berner Oberland but spending our nights in Interlaken. What is the best way to get from Paris to Interlaken?? Thanks!!

Can't guarantee that it's the fastest way, but it's pretty darn fast, pretty easy, and pretty enjoyable ... Take the TGV (train) from Paris Est to Basel SBB and then an ICE train from there to Interlaken Ost. Transit time is 5.5 hours total. Departs around 8:30 and arrives around 2:00 PM.

I agree with Marshall. Take the train. If you want to get to Interlaken sooner, you can leave Paris Est at 06:24, connect in Basel, and arrive at Interlaken Ost at 12:57. Youll find detailed timetables on the German Rail site.

The fastest way is to fly from Paris to Genève, Basel-Mulhouse or Zürich airports, then take a train (all these airports have integrated train stations within the passenger terminal) to Interlaken.
