Bönigen is located on the southern shore of Lake Brienz in the Bernese Oberland. The village center of Bönigen stretches along the northwestern border of the municipality along the Lütschine River to the lake and is almost connected to Interlaken. In the village there are picturesque wooden houses, often dating back to the 16th century. The largest part of the village in terms of area consists of steep mountain slopes. The Loucherhorn, the Roteflue and the Schynige Platte can be found on its peaks. Walks along the lake or a bike tour along the Lütschine are very relaxing. From Bönigen, kayak tours or jet boat tours across Lake Brienz are popular

“I loved the canyon swing. It felt like a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. The team were friendly and helpful, kept me calm when I started to panic, and gave me a little push to finally get off. Thank you.”
“No doubt, this was the most incredible and wonderful experience I have ever had. Anyone visiting Grindelwald should definitely give it a try.”
“Lucas was a great guide. The activity is so fun - you need a lot of nerve and absolutely cannot be afraid of heights. Bring water. Highly recommend.”
“Quality day with valentine and airtime paragliding. Couldn’t have made my 30th any more special.”
“Amazing activity for the whole family.”
“I decided to do this after seeing the paragliders land in Interlaken, and i was on my first solo trip so thought why not! I was nervous beforehand, but my pilot, Robin, put me at ease and was very kind. It’s actually a peaceful experience (we did do one fun trick which i loved, and you can ask for more if you want a thrill), and the views are incredible. We flew for quite a long time due to the thermals. I recommend to anyone :) no experience needed!”
