On a discovery tour around Lake Thun, you can cool off in a swimming pool a whole ten times and enjoy the summer weather. Pack your swimwear and jump into the lake. Our route takes us up the north shore of Lake Thun and down the south shore until we arrive back in Thun.

‍Beach bathHünegg

We make our first stop in Hilterfingen. A small gem on Lake Thun with an Italian ambience. The lido Hünegg offers a sunbathing lawn, a raft in the water and a children's pool. The more daring jump head first from the diving tower into the cool water. The restaurant will spoil you with delicacies from the neighboring country Italy. If you stop by on Friday evenings between 6:00 and 10:00 p.m., you can enjoy the apericena "Serata all'Italiana" (until the end of August). A visit with hunger is worthwhile.
