Oberhofen am Thunersee

Oberhofen on Lake Thun is a charming village nestled on the lake's right bank, set between the water and wooded slopes. The village's character is defined by the lakeside Oberhofen Castle, well-maintained waterfront promenades, and historic houses. Thanks to its mild climate, vineyards, and nearby excursion mountains, the place combines a Mediterranean lakeside vibe with an alpine backdrop. The boat station, beach, and numerous hiking trails make Oberhofen a popular holiday and day-trip destination in the Bernese Oberland.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first-ever paragliding experience in Interlaken, Switzerland, and it was absolutely amazing! 🇨🇭🪂 The views were breathtaking, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to my awesome pilot, Tinu, for making me feel safe and comfortable the entire time. He was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience so much fun! And of course, my “George Clooney look-alike” pilot 😂 Definitely one of the highlights of my Switzerland trip. I would 100% do it again! Danke schön, Tinu! ❤️”
