Interlaken Ost is a rail hub where trains to several regions of Switzerland converge. It is the starting station for the journey to Jungfraujoch, and trains to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald also depart from here. Two Coop supermarkets stand in front of the station, and the smaller store stays open until 9 p.m. The Jungfrau ticket counter is inconvenient for English communication and service.
