Lake Thun
We love it for:
- Being the perfect base to explore the Jungfrau region
- Romantic lake side settings
- The nearby Ballenberg open-air museum
- Boat & paddle steamer trips
Lake Thun, in between the old town of Thun and Interlaken is a picturesque location and a great base to visit neighbouring villages, which can be reached by lake steamers, a bus service also operates to take visitors from the lake resorts to Thun and Interlaken.
Spiez on Lake Thun is ideally placed for exploring the Bernese Oberland, with promenades and parks offering relaxing strolls whilst the mountains offer marvellous walking country with the dramatic Mount Niesen towering overhead. There is a fine lakeside lido as well as tennis courts, mini golf and a children's playground.
There are plenty of opportunities to take walks to the vineyards and the castle at Oberhofen. The stunning villages of Beatenberg and Faulensee are a must to visit! If you fancy doing a bit of shopping on holiday then Thun has a number of retail outlets on offer.
