Thun
Thun is idyllically situated on the shores of Lake Thun and its outflow, the Aare. It is considered the gateway to the Bernese Oberland and is an excellent starting point for excursions into the mountains. Thun is connected to Interlaken by paddle steamer via the lake route. The historic town center lies about 1.5 km from Lake Thun on the Aare River. Above it towers Thun Castle with its distinctive turrets. The historical buildings and a long history of the region blend perfectly with a modern urban development and culture.

“Bungee jumping was a real highlight for us and an experience we won’t forget anytime soon. Huge thanks to Allan, Martin, and Rayno – you were amazing! From the very start, we felt well taken care of and safe with you. Everything was explained thoroughly and clearly, and the relaxed, easygoing atmosphere really helped to manage the nerves before the jump. 😊 The backdrop is simply spectacular, making the experience even more special. Even for spectators who don’t want to jump themselves, it’s definitely worth coming along – just the view and the atmosphere are impressive. A unique experience, a great team, and a fantastic location – highly recommended!”
