Lake Brienz was absolutely beautiful, its turquoise colour an unrivalled shade of purity and many visitors, like us, sat along the park benches just staring into the waters for a long time, finding our own peace and calm. There were designated cycling and pedestrian paths along the parameters of the lake and signages were clear in directing you to your... More

Lake Brienz is really beautiful - we thought it was the best Swiss lake that we visited. The views were stunning all along the north side of the lake. Every way we looked there was a superb view of snow capped mountains and the glistening lake itself. Perfect when the sun is shining, as it was for most of the... More

This is a wonderful lake; especially the green-blue colour is unique. If possible take a tour with a steam boat. Doubtlessly one of the highlights at Bernese Oberland.

We caught the Steamer from Brienz down to Interlaken. Having been on the lake many times it was just as good as the first time I went on in the 1960's. The views of the Geissbach Falls are wonderful. It was lovely to just see the train going down the lake half way up the embankment. The stop at the... More

I haven't seen water as emerald green/turquoise as in lake Brienz! While both lake Thun and Brienz are spectacular and a treat to the eyes, I definitely loved the color of the water here mor(Thun being the bluest blue you may have ever seen). Take an hour's cruise from Interlaken to Ballenberg. Stop by at the ballenberg open air museum... More
