Thun is one of the most original towns in Switzerland. It occupies
an admirable site within view of the Bernese Alps and is much
overlooked by visitors pressing on to Interlaken. With its
picturesque castle and quaint medieval center Thun (pronounced toon)
is well worth a visit. Beautiful views of the Eiger, Mönch and
Jungfrau and, closer at hand, the giant pyramidal Niesen (2362m)
and flat-topped Stockhorn (2190m) are a gentle prelude to the Alpine
vistas further south.
Lake Thun is one of the loveliest and largest lakes in Switzerland and
very much appreciated by tourists and locals alike. Located within
green mountains and snowy summits (namely the Jungfrau) Lake Thun
presents many opportunities for water-sports and swimming. A well
documented network of walking path along the Lake and above the villages
in the foothills invite for activities such as hiking and mountain
biking.
The city of Thun on the shores of Lake Thun offers a very charming Old
Town to stroll around and do shopping. Situated only 30 minutes from
Interlaken, it is an economical alternative to Interlaken featuring
similar attractions and activities! We are presenting you just a few
options, but are confident that you will be fascinated by the beauty
of Thun and the Bernese Oberland.
