Where to stay in Thun and surroundings?The various
wedding activities take place in the Thunersee area in the Berner Oberland. For
proximity to the wedding events we recommend Thun, Hünibach,
Hilterfingen, Oberhofen and Gunten. Interlaken is also a
possibility, but further away and more expensive. All of the above towns
have good bus and boat connections to and from Thun.
The tourist office will be glad to
assist you on their very useful
accommodation web page or by phone Tel.

Here are a
few possible places to stay. Needless to say that lodging can be expensive in
Switzerland. We have tried to provide a variety of price ranges and locations.
Please also note that prices usually are per person and per day. Please confirm
the prices directly with the hotel.
