Lake Thun by Helicopter
Lake Thun sits at the northern edge of the Bernese Oberland, fed by meltwater from the Alps and ringed by small towns and vineyard slopes. It's the first major lake helicopter flights from Bern cross on the way into the mountains.
Seeing it by helicopter
Flights heading from Bern toward the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau, or further on toward the Matterhorn, cross directly over Lake Thun on the way in -- its full turquoise length laid out below before the terrain climbs into the high peaks.

Good to know
- •This is a flyby on the route into the Bernese Oberland, not a standalone stop, so you don't need a lake-specific tour to see it from the air.
- •The lake's color shifts with the season -- glacial meltwater runoff makes it most vividly turquoise in summer.
- •Window seats facing the mountains, rather than back toward Bern, tend to get the clearer combined view of the lake and the peaks beyond it.
Do helicopter tours from Bern actually fly over Lake Thun?
