Blümlisalp, Paddle steamer in Thun, Switzerland
The Blümlisalp paddle steamer stretches 60.45 meters in length and operates regular passenger services across the waters of Lake Thun throughout the summer season.
Built in 1906, this vessel underwent complete refurbishment between 1990 and 1992 through a nationwide fundraising campaign before resuming its operations on Lake Thun.
The paddle steamer represents Swiss maritime heritage and holds status as a class A cultural property of national significance, demonstrating Switzerland's commitment to preservation.
Passengers can board the steamer at multiple stops along Lake Thun, including Hunibach, Hilterfingen, Oberhofen, and Gunten, with six daily return sailings during peak season.
The vessel navigates through a specially designed channel connecting Lake Thun to the city center, allowing passengers to observe the transition from urban to natural landscapes.
