    Lake Blausee tour from Interlaken

    Our journey in Interlaken starts with a one-hour train ride, which will take us through the scenic Kander valley. Afterward, we take a local bus for a short 10-minute ride, which will take us to the entrance of the Lake Blausee nature park.

    No matter which season, or even the weather, Lake Blausee always offers impressive scenery and a magical atmosphere.

    The nature park is a paradise for landscape photographers and nature lovers - a place to relax and enjoy. You can take a leisurely walk around the Lake and enjoy romantic hiking trails or visit the trout farm nearby the Lake. For kids, there is a children's playground available.

    You can enjoy the fresh trout for lunch directly from the lakes fish farm or other tasty regional dishes in the adjoining restaurant (not included in the tour price).The lunch hours are : 11.30 AM - 2 PM (full lunch menu) 2 PM - 5 PM (afternoon snack menu)

    Your guide can stay with you, or you can choose to enjoy this visit in private with your party. If you like, you can set a meeting time with your guide or text or call when you are ready to return to Interlaken.

    You can stay up to three hours by the Lake. That gives you plenty of time to take in the scenery and to do the activities of your choice.

    We have every half-hour a connection back to Interlaken. On the way back, we take either the same route as on the outbound or a slightly different one, depending on the departure time from Lake Blausee.
