Hotels in Lake Thun, Switzerland

Lake Thun sits in the Swiss Alps, just east of Bern, famous for its electric-blue water and the 13th-century Oberhofen Castle jutting into the lake. Summers are mild, with highs around 70°F (21°C), perfect for sailing or paddleboarding on the lake, while winters drop to freezing, turning the surrounding mountains into ski zones like Niederhorn. You can hike the panoramic trail from Spiez to Faulensee for postcard views of the lake and the Eiger, or in winter, ice skate at the outdoor rink in Thun town, which stays open until January.
