Surfing in Switzerland? One medieval town has waves, castles, and barely any tourists
"In general, Thun is not that well known to many tourists, and we regularly recommend it to our visitors to avoid crowds,"
"Whether you're on a backpacking budget or a luxury trip, whether you want shopping or views, whether you want to walk around or sit on the water and enjoy a drink, I think everyone who goes there would find something that they really enjoy,"
"It towers above the city, and you really can't miss it,"
Thun sits on the northern tip of Lake Thun between Bern and the Bernese Alps, divided by a crystal-blue river with mountain backdrops. The town combines medieval Old Town charm, narrow alleys, cobblestone streets, shops, and cafés with scenic lakeside promenades. Warm summers and snowy winters provide hiking, skiing, and water activities across seasons. Thun is home to two castles, including a 12th-century fortress that rises above the city and offers panoramic views. The town suits a range of budgets and tastes and serves as a quieter alternative to nearby resort hubs.
