Destinations
Thunersee
A picture-postcard lake dominated by the summits of the Niederhorn, Niesen and Sthockhorn. In the distance, the majestic peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. All this and the "great little city" of Thun with its medieval castle and famous old town. This is exactly what a typical Swiss holiday should be like!
The central location of the Lake of Thun Region also makes it an ideal starting point for excursions into the Bernese Oberland, the Emmental, to the Swiss capital of Berne or over the Brünig Pass to Central Switzerland.
