Nestled in the heart of Switzerland’s Berner Oberland region lies Thun—an absolute gem and one of the country’s most picturesque towns. This is where our walking tour begins, in a place where nature, history, and culture blend seamlessly into an unforgettable atmosphere. Thun sits at the point where the turquoise River Aare flows out of the breathtaking Lake Thun (Thunersee), creating a setting that feels almost storybook-like. Overlooking the town is its iconic medieval castle, standing proudly above the Old Town and offering a glimpse into centuries of local heritage.
Often referred to as the gateway to the Bernese Alps, Thun has drawn visitors for generations. Its unique location between lakes and mountains, paired with its charming historic architecture, creates an irresistible appeal. Today, the town is home to nearly 45,000 residents and serves as an important cultural, economic, and military hub. Yet despite its modern role, Thun has managed to preserve its old-world spirit. Its medieval Old Town is widely considered one of the most beautiful in Switzerland—filled with narrow streets, historical façades, and elevated walkways unlike any other in the country.
Our walking adventure begins at Thun Castle (Schloss Thun), an impressive 12th-century fortress that watches over the entire region. From this vantage point, the views stretch across the Old Town, the lake, and the surrounding Alps. From the castle, we continue toward the Protestant Stadtkirche, a striking church that not only showcases remarkable architecture but also offers a magnificent panorama of Thun’s rooftops and riverside scenery.
