Cruise across this pristine Alpine lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks, passing fairy-tale castles and vineyards that somehow cling to steep mountainsides. The historic paddle steamers and electric boats offer different perspectives of what many consider Switzerland's most beautiful lake. Summer brings swimming in surprisingly warm water, while winter offers Christmas markets in lakeside villages that look like snow globes come to life.

“Lake Thun cruise (Thun to Interlaken West) 4/5, the first hour to Spiez is 5/5, but the second hour I started to feel sea sick from such a long time on the lake. Wish we got off at Spiez to explore town and take a train for the rest of it. The boats are very spacious, clean, and feel luxurious.”
