Kayaking on Lake Brienz in Autumn

Autumn is a special time on Lake Brienz, where vibrant colors meet calm waters and crisp mountain air. Imagine gliding across the lake as the trees along the shoreline are draped in rich shades of orange, red, and gold. With the lake to yourself and nature in full color, autumn kayaking here offers a peaceful escape and a front-row view of Switzerland’s seasonal beauty.

Why is autumn different?

Quieter Waters: With almost no other watercraft around, you’ll experience the lake’s natural stillness undisturbed.

Vibrant Views: Autumn colors bring the shoreline to life, making each trip a visual experience.

Mirror-Flat Conditions: Cooler temperatures and calm water create ideal, glass-like conditions on the lake.

Enhanced Clarity: Lake Brienz’s turquoise waters are exceptionally clear, with autumn light adding depth and intensity to every view.

Serenity: The quieter atmosphere lets you hear the gentle paddling sounds as you move through open, peaceful spaces.
