    Welcome to Beatenberg!
    Visit Beatenberg high above Lake Thun, above the fog, at an altitude of 1200 metres, Beatenberg has a ring-side view of the Bernese Alps. The breathtaking peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau pose against a background of steel-blue skies - Lake Thun’s blue-green waters glisten far below Beatenberg, the village that has not lost any of its country charm, despite being dependent on tourists. On the contrary: Beatenberg has succeeded in combining farming and tourism in the best way possible. Beatenberg is not a trendy holiday resort with busy shopping streets and loud discos. You go to Beatenberg for peace and relaxation.

    Beatenberg extends from Lake Thun, at an altitude of 556m, to the Niederhorn-Gemmenalphorn-Seefeld area, the highest point of which is 2061m above sea level. Three (Waldegg, Schmocken, Spirenwald) of the four parts of the village are spread out along the 7km village street, the fourth (Sundlauenen) is down by the lake. This makes Beatenberg, with its 1400 residents, the longest village in Europe.

    Its sunny, wind-sheltered position gives Beatenberg a mild, pleasant climate. The long hours of sunshine (7 hours on the shortest day) and the fresh mountain air make it popular as a spa. However, it is also well-known and popular for family holidays.
