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.
