A trip on a passenger ferry or the historical paddle steamer Blümlisalp will tempt you to enjoy an extended trip on the deep blue Lake Thun. At Spiez lido, you will have some amazing fun in the water or can start out for a trip in a canoe. Or alternatively try your luck as the captain of a remote-controlled model boat. In the Beach Arena Spiez you can play beach soccer and volleyball as well as other ball sports in the sand. Enjoy guaranteed fun in a game of pétanque, the French version of the Italian boccia.
