Best Lake Thun Day Trips & Things to Do

Lake Thun enchants visitors with its shimmering turquoise waters framed by snowcapped peaks and lush meadows. The town of Thun, resting at the lake’s eastern end, delights with its fairy-tale castle overlooking the Aare River. Along the northern shore, Interlaken offers access to the Jungfrau region, while boat cruises connect historic Spiez, with its ivy-clad chateau, and the sun-drenched baths of Merligen. Cycling paths and mountain trails invite outdoor exploration, and views of Niesen, the pyramid-shaped mountain rising 2,362 meters, add drama to every vantage point.
