Imagine your most beautiful screensavers coming to life; that’s what the St. Beatus Caves look like. Situated majestically on the shore of Lake Thun, these caves are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, located close to Interlaken in Switzerland.
Few geographical structures in the world feel so otherworldly like St. Beatus and a visit to the Caves will surely leave even the most well-travelled tourists spellbound. Stretching over 14 kilometres underground, the comfortably accessible Caves are well-lit and safe for individuals and families to explore for hours.
The guided tours will take you through stalactite and stalagmite formations, underground waterfalls and gorges, and peculiar contours and patterns sculpted in limestone over millions of years. It’s a breathtaking work of art perfected by nature, preserved in its flawless form.
The journey to the Caves, through lush forests and gorgeous waterfalls, is a spectacular adventure by itself. Over a kilometre underground, the Caves are nourished by the pristine waters of Lake Thun. With tunnels and caves and unexpected protrusions and grottos, a walk through the pathways will never be monotonous and will surprise you every few feet.
St. Beatus isn’t just for families or couples. This is an ideal destination for those interested in preservation, ecology and sustainable tourism that doesn’t negatively impact the environment.
