The Lake's Highlights

Parkhotel Gunten

Parkhotel Gunten is arguably the most beautiful spot on Lake Thun, offering views of the lake, mountains, and landscape. Built in 1910, this 3-star superior hotel is located directly on Lake Thun and impresses with its prime location and spacious hotel park. Here, guests celebrate life in the restaurant or park and enjoy the summer days in the boathouse's spa area.

This spacious hotel embodies hospitality, blending tradition and modernity. The dreamlike park with old trees, a sunbathing lawn, and lake access will infuse your holiday with a Mediterranean flair. The rooms are decorated in fresh colors, the breakfast buffet is extensive, and the food, complemented by exquisite wines, is excellent.

A nearby boat station, an ideal hiking and excursion region, as well as museums and castles, offer a wealth of experiences. And last but not least, the hotel boasts views of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The small but exquisite wellness area in the boathouse, with direct access to Lake Thun, is unique. It includes a Finnish sauna with stunning panoramic views of the lake. The whirlpool on the sundeck also provides fantastic views of the water and waves.
