Interlaken in three dimensions

A walkable terrain model of the Bernese Oberland: 45 destinations and 32 rail, cable car, boat and bus lines running to the timetable, with peak names, sun position — and the journey time from Interlaken Ost to every destination.

The first run downloads around 40 MB of map and elevation data and needs a desktop machine or a recent tablet.

Drag to pan, scroll to zoom, right-drag to turn and tilt. Click a vehicle to ride along; click a destination for its journey time, price and how long to allow.

Every destination on the model, by journey time

The same destinations that stand on the model, sorted by the verified journey time from Interlaken Ost. The map shows where they are; this table says what they cost.

The lines in the model

Every line runs to the frequency, journey time and operating hours of the published timetable — at night they are in the depot, seasonal lines stand still in winter.

Webcams in the map area

Each camera sits at the coordinate its operator publishes for it; the elevation beside it is the terrain height at that exact point, from the federal elevation service.
