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.

“Wonderful experience”

Stephen

on Paragliding Grindelwald from First

“Amazing experience!!”

Christian

on Beatenberg paragliding tandem from Interlaken

“Wonderful experience! The chocolate shoppe is worth a visit on its own, but the class tops it off. Our instructor was informative, sweet and fun, and the intimate setting made it easy to meet new people, learn new things and bring home delicious chocolate. A very fun hour and a half — highly recommend!”

Beverly

“So amazing. Fantastic service, videos and pictures were amazing and fast. Can’t beat the location.”
