Think very carefully before you buy this! There has been a storm in Brienz and the ferry, Rothbahn and trains are now not running. We paid over 600 francs for a 4 day pass and were offered nothing by way of partial compensation. Terrible customer service!

My phone was stolen in this office from one of the female employees The owner was notified through Google Map, but unfortunately the comment did not appear. I hope that the necessary action has been taken regarding the thief employee.

Experience the largest lake in the Bernese Oberland by boat A boat trip on the clear, blue waters of Lake Thun amid the mountains of the Bernese Oberland is an unforgettable experience. During the unhurried two-hour trip from Thun to Interlaken, you can indulge in fine cuisine while casting admiring gazes at the castles on the banks and the mountains beyond. Leave your daily routine behind and enjoy the passing landscapes.
