Schlossberg viewpoint in Thun

Climb the historic staircase from Thun old town up to the Schlossberg. At the top, you can stop and rest a while on one of the benches in the little park next to the Stadtkirche. The panoramic view from the Schlossberg is fantastic: perfect for a souvenir photo or two!

The Schlossberg, with its white castle, is the emblem of Thun. This magnificent viewpoint can be reached on foot or with the lift from the car park for a more leisurely option. Once there, you can explore the castle gates and the Stadtkirche or pay a visit to Thun Castle. Here you can snap a great souvenir photo from one of the windows in the tower. You can also treat yourself to a delicious evening meal in the fabulous ambiance of the Restaurant & Hotel Schlossberg.
