The Beach – Strandbad Bönigen

In partnership with the civic community and the community of Bönigen

Welcome to “The Beach” Strandbad Bönigen

A “place to be” on the beautiful Lake Brienz. Cool off in the turquoise water, enjoy a sunny day in one of our pools, relax on the lawn or paddle far out on the lake with our pedal boats, kayaks or SUP boards. On our rooftop lounge with magnificent views of the mountains, you can enjoy refreshing drinks and delicious food from our Beach Café.

Our motivated team of employees, who all share the same passion, and our high-quality paddling equipment promise many wonderful summer days @ the Beach.

Der gesamte Seebereich inkl. Aqua-Park ist ausschliesslich geübten SchwimmerInnen vorbehalten. Schwimmhilfen sind im See nicht erlaubt. Unsere Kajaktouren sind hingegen für Anfänger und auch Nicht-Schwimmer gut geeignet. Vorgängige Erfahrung ist nicht notwendig.

Alle unsere Touren und Kurse finden bei jedem Wetter statt. Es gibt zwischendurch Tage, da macht uns ein Sturm oder Gewitter einen Strich durch die Rechnung und wir können aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht aufs Wasser. Oftmals aber ist die Wetterlage besser als die Vorhersage. Wir betreiben diesen Sport in der Natur, folglich müssen und dürfen wir mit ihren Launen arbeiten und häufig ist gerade bei nicht strahlendstem Wetter die Kulisse noch viel dramatischer und das Erlebnis noch eindrücklicher.
