A Lake Thun stay: which village suits you?

Around Lake Thun, divide your days between shore walks, boat trips and mountain views. Spiez and Faulensee are on the southern shore, Gunten on the northern shore; Thun adds an old town and culture.

Choose your apartment for its actual village and your plans. A confirmed lake view is different from direct lake access; the apartment details distinguish the two.

Outdoors & exploring

Things to do around Lake Thun

Explore Lake Thun by boat

From a boat, lakeside villages, castles and mountains reveal a different perspective. Choose a cruise or a connection to a shore village for your outing. The current BLS timetable helps you plan both journeys for the season.

Castles: culture beside the lake

Thun, Schadau, Hünegg, Oberhofen and Spiez are the lake region’s five castles, each with a different story. Choose one for your interests and combine the visit with a walk in its surroundings. Museums and castle grounds have different opening arrangements; check before visiting.

Spiez bay and vineyards

In Spiez, combine the lakeshore with a walk through the vineyards. The vineyard sensory trail introduces local wine growing and adds a cultural angle to your stroll. It suits days when you want water and landscape rather than a summit outing.

Niesen: see the lake from above

The Niesen funicular reaches the distinctive pyramid-shaped mountain above Lake Thun. The panorama of lakes and mountains adds a new perspective to your shore-side days. Choose clear weather and check the operating season before planning the trip.

Your questions about Lake Thun

Use the lake-view filter in the apartment overview, then compare village, guest capacity and sleeping arrangements. Belle du Lac in Spiez and Perle du Lac in Gunten are two starting points for comparison. Rely on each apartment page’s confirmed details.

No. A lake view describes the outlook, while direct lake access concerns the setting or access. They are separate filters. Also read the apartment’s access information; a lake photograph does not establish private lake access.

Spiez and Faulensee are on the southern shore, Gunten on the northern shore. Thun adds an old town and the Aare to a lakeside stay. Choose the actual village for your plans rather than treating every Lake Thun apartment as having the same setting.

BLS boats combine time on the lake with visits to shore villages. Choose your route from the current timetable and check the return journey too. Plan the journey from your apartment to the landing stage separately.

Walks in lakeside villages, Thun’s old town and open museums offer variety outside the swimming season. Castles, boats and the Niesen funicular each have their own seasonal arrangements. Choose cultural visits and outings using current operator information.
