Därstetten

Därstetten lies at 762 m above sea level in the Alps south of the Gantrisch in the Bernese Oberland. The Stockhorn is located on its eastern municipal boundary. The Simme River flows through Därstetten and later flows into Lake Thun. This village with almost 900 inhabitants is located approximately halfway between Spiez and Zweisimmen. Worth seeing in Därstetten are the ruins of the Weissenburg bath and the castle. The Romanesque church served as a monastery church in the 13th century. Some wall paintings are still preserved from that time. From Därstetten you can go on an exciting rafting tour in the Simme river.

From travellers like you

“Great experience, the company staff and pilots were all great. Thank you for a brilliant experience!”

Jodie

on Beatenberg paragliding tandem in summer from Interlaken

“It was an incredible experience! The instructor was highly experienced and made me feel safe and at ease throughout the flight. It was such great fun — the perfect mix of adrenaline and moments of tranquillity, all with absolutely breathtaking views. I enjoyed every second and would definitely do it again if I got the chance! 🪂✨ Highly recommended for anyone looking for something exciting, different and unforgettable. It’s definitely an experience I’ll remember for a long time!”

Monika

on Paragliding Grindelwald from First

“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!”

Holly
