Winter kayaking on Lake Brienz
In winter, turquoise Lake Brienz is a place of peace and relaxation where snow-capped peaks and still waters combine to create a matchless idyll. Every thought of a winter kayaking tour? Admittedly, winter is not normally associated with kayaking – but paddling is even more of a magical experience in the winter months, and you have a drysuit to keep you warm.
Paragliding high above Interlaken
Like to soar up to the clouds and view Interlaken from above? During a paragliding flight lasting 10-20 minutes, you will drink in spectacular views of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz as well as the Three Peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. For a unique souvenir, you can even take your own photos and videos.
Sealander on Lake Thun
In the winter months, you and your loved ones can enjoy a delicious fondue in a floating caravan in the bay of Spiez. Admire the stunning natural surroundings around Lake Thun as you dip bread in a fine cheese fondue. What a perfect experience on a winter’s day!
St. Beatus Caves in winter
Did you know that the St. Beatus Caves have a constant temperature of 8-10 degrees all year round? In winter, the stalactite world with its bare rocks has a special effect, while the view of tranquil Lake Thun and the snow-covered mountain backdrop is also mystical. Round off your cave experience with culinary delights with an atmospheric candlelit cave raclette.
