Children have energy and should be able to use it to play and let off steam! These hotspots for families around Lake Thun are perfect for this.
Grizzlybär Adventure Land
The Grizzly Bear Adventure Land is the perfect excursion destination for the whole family. It lies at the gateway to the Gantrisch Nature Park and is located directly on the beautiful Dittligsee lake. The whole family can look forward to games, fun, adventure and culinary highlights in idyllic surroundings. Visit the animal park with over 100 animals, let off steam on the large outdoor playground or compete on the 18-hole mini-golf course with a magnificent view of Lake Dittlig.
Thunerhof playground
Even as adults, we still remember how we used to run around on the big wooden ship and play pirates. The Thunerhof playground is beautifully situated on the Aarequai with the Thuntanic ship, which invites you to let off steam. A real adventure playground!
St. Beatus Caves
Dream job as a speleologist? This is already possible at a young age in the St. Beatus Caves. The whole family will be amazed by the impressive cave world, where there is so much to discover. The cave museum and the extensive playground round off the experience perfectly. When the weather is fine, you can satisfy your hunger with a picnic at the public barbecue area.
Please note: The area is not suitable for baby carriages.
Trauffer world of experience
Who doesn't know the famous Trauffer wooden cow? Whether small or large, black, red or colorful, every child in Switzerland has probably played with a Trauffer wooden cow. But how and where is it actually made? This is exactly what the whole family can explore and experience at the Trauffer Adventure World in Brienz. If you prefer to turn a day trip into a weekend break, you can book a room in the accompanying wooden hotel.
Panorama bridge Sigriswil
With a breathtaking view over Lake Thun and the mountains. The suspension bridge between Aeschlen and Sigriswil swings over the Gummischlucht gorge at a dizzying height. A visit to the bridge can be perfectly combined with a short family hike.
Beatenberg Trotti
After a long family day on the Niederhorn, you may not have the energy to walk down the mountain. The perfect solution is available from the Vorsass middle station: scooter bikes! Two different routes offer exactly the same amount of fun. One is a little shorter, more direct and steeper, the other longer, more leisurely and flatter. The perfect way to round off a day in the mountains!
Heimwehfluh toboggan run
Pure nostalgia on the Heimwehfluh toboggan run in Interlaken West. Each rider decides their own speed on the toboggan. Even before the descent, you can enjoy the beautiful view from the Heimwehfluh. A visit to the restaurant and/or playground will delight young and old alike.
Funland indoor playground
Since the weather doesn't always play along in summer and the family still wants to have fun, there's Funland in Thun! A three-lane slide? Sounds good, doesn't it? This highlight at Funpark Thun is accompanied by various play areas, a tunnel slide, ball pool and more. Children up to the age of 11 will definitely find their favorite place to play.
