Destination introduction
Kuoni holidays to Bönigen and Lake Thun offer tranquil lakeside locations and are a great alternative to busier Interlaken but with all the amenities still close by. The village Bönigen is located on the beautiful Lake Brienz where lake steamers stop close to our featured hotels and offer a delightful way to explore the area. With its quaint chalets and meadows it is the ideal starting point for many excursions throughout the lakes and mountains of the Bernese Oberland.
Thun is the tenth largest city in Switzerland and crystal clear Lake Thun is believed to be one of the prettiest in the country. It lies at the northern rim of the Alps surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery and its footbridges across the river and little hidden alleyways lead you deep into the city centre, perfect for exploring. In summer, the picturesque walkways are covered with flowers.
