- BLS has closed the line between Interlaken West and Interlaken Ost from 19 October to 12 December 2026. Trains terminate at Interlaken West, with replacement buses to Interlaken Ost.
- Our journey planner leaves buses out, so the connections above take a longer all-rail route. Normally you change in Bern and are in Interlaken in around 2 hours; during the works, allow extra time for the bus.
- A further replacement service between Spiez and Interlaken Ost is planned from 30 March to 15 May 2027.
