Oeschinensee is accessible by foot from Kandersteg within 1.5 hours. The cable car operates in summer and winter season daily from mornings till evenings - non stop. In summer enjoy swimming in the lake, boat rides on the blue and clear water or just have fun with the toboggan run at the top station of the cable car. Several hotels around the lake offer rooms in summer. Restaurants are open in winter and summer. The region belongs to the Unesco heritage Jungfrau-Aletsch.

Easily accessible for families with small children. The lake can be reached after a 30min walk or in 5min via a small electric bus (8CHF each way). The views are breathtaking and there is a nice restaurant by the lake to enjoy a meal. Not to be missed!

In august, we could see people swimming in it, and even standing on a high bridge, we could see through it to the very bottom of the river. It's greenish clear waters together with the scenery around it gives you this calm and peaceful feeling. Very relaxing.

He painted the Jungfrau and the Schynige Platte, but Ferdinand Hodler never committed Lake Bachalpsee to canvas. The glacial water reflecting the Schreckhorn in the calm air would have been entirely in keeping with the taste of the well-known symbolist. Many others discovered the beauty of the "blue jewel". Lake Bachalpsee travels around the world as a postcard. However: no photo are able capture the radiance of the lake. You need to go there and see it for yourself. That doesn't require much effort. Lake Bachalpsee can be reached from First on foot in less than an hour.

Bachalpsee is an extremely scenic lake and can be reached by an easy hike from First. Definitely worth visiting.

A boat ride around the lake that stopped at the tourist attractions/destinations sounded great. Although we were concerned about several aspects of the Hop-On, Hop-Off cruise, such as how many stops did it make, how long was the interval until the next boat arrived, and did it make a complete round-trip, that is what we had initially planned to do. We thought we would find the answers to those questions at the boat dock office in Interlaken. All that fell through when we were unable to find the dock from which the boat departed. In retrospect, it probably worked out better since our day trip driving around the north side of Lake Thun was extremely enjoyable and provided some great sights of the beautiful shoreline. We were also able to spend as long as we wanted at each stop and visited some places that the boat does not stop. I think our favorites were the St. Beatus Hoehlen caverns, Oberhofen Castle, and the ride up to the Niederhorn. At many spots, you are treated to fantastic panoramic views of Lake Thun and the Bernese Alps. Even if you’re visiting during the summer, you may want to bring a light jacket since the wind off the lake is rather cool. Also, several of the car park lots at the various stops are for-pay lots, so make sure you have some coins. We toured the lake on a weekday and, surprisingly, it wasn’t very busy.

It was a wonderful experience seeing and feeling the splendour of Lake Biel. It was on the 06th of August, 2020, when I was able to pass by Lake Biel and being able to savour the scent of nature. I was mesmerised by it because it was so clean, clear and blue. If a traveller would want to spend more time there, one should take a cruise experience. I would have spent more time cruising the whole neighbourhood within the lake, well, next time.
