This is Spiez
Spiez is located in the
Bernese Oberland on
Lake Thun. Its enchanting bay, the
castle, vineyards, and lakeside promenade make it a popular excursion and holiday destination.
Discover Spiez
Your tour begins in Spiez Bay, one of the most beautiful in Switzerland and a perfect place to linger and enjoy. Stroll for kilometres along the lakeside promenade close to the water. Visit Spiez Castle with its picturesque setting – the castle church framed by Lake Thun. At the “Rebhüsli”, the discovery trail through the Spiez vineyards begins. Or take the nostalgic funicular up the pyramid-shaped local mountain, the
Niesen.
Spiez Castle
Set above the deep blue
Lake Thun and surrounded by vineyards, no
castle could be more picturesquely located. From the castle tower, enjoy a unique view of Spiez Bay and the Bernese Alps. The castle with its museum, the thousand-year-old castle church, and the castle gardens invite you to explore and linger.

paddle steamer “Blümlisalp”. Enjoy a round trip past numerous other castles, such as
Thun Castle, with views of the
Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger. Alternatively, walk along the lakeside promenade to Faulensee and return by boat – for the best view of
Spiez Castle. Spiez Bay is perfect for water sports such as stand-up paddling, sailing, or canoeing. Or relax at the lido and refresh yourself in the crystal-clear water.
