A short private drive takes you to a rare high perch above Lake Thun with sweeping views of Interlaken, Beatenberg, Rothorn and the distant Jura. Perfect when you want a compact, photo-ready introduction to the Bernese Oberland.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You ease out of Interlaken and the road climbs; past dairy pastures and low stone walls the valley opens and Lake Thun stretches like a cool mirror below. The vehicle takes a private lane, and within minutes you’re at a small, elevated clearing where the panorama collects the region’s landmarks—Interlaken’s roofline, the Beatus cliffs, the Rothorn ridgeline, and the folded blue of the Jura on the horizon.
