Lake Thun (Thunersee) is an Alpine lake in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. It took its name from the city of Thun, on its northern shore. There is alpine splendour and gently rolling hills, there is urban hustle and bustle and the solitude of the forests, there are peaks and gorges and much much more besides. The power of these contrasts make Lake Thun the most fascinating and beautiful of all the lakes in Switzerland. The lake is fed by water from Lake Brienz to the south east, which lies 6 metres higher than Lake Thun, and various streams in the Oberland, including the Kander (only since 1714). Lake Thun was created after the last ice age and was originally part of Lake Brienz. Since 1835 passenger ships have operated on the lake. The small town of Thun at the western end of the lake with the same name is the gateway to the Bernese Oberland. Niesen (2362m), Stockhorn (2190m), and Niederhorn (1950m) are the well-known panoramic mountains around Lake Thun. They are reached by cable cars and are starting points of beautiful hiking trails, challenging bicycle tours and paragliding adventures. When snow conditions permit, the winter resorts around the lake offer excellent and family-friendly ski and snowboard runs.
