Switzerland: Help me find a beautiful place to stay outside Bern city?

Question

We are spending 4 weeks in Europe for our honeymoon in January and are spending a few nights in Switzerland. We have found a beautiful place to stay in the country which is very close to Lucerne and we would like to find something similar outside Bern. What villages are in the area which are beautiful but still very close to Bern?

Answer 1

Interlaken, a well-known tourist destination in the Bernese Oberland, is close to Bern, as is Gstaad, known for its extremely luxurious hotels and shopping, high-society nightlife, fine dining, excellent service, and international stars. Gstaad is also one of the largest ski areas in the European Alps.

Answer 2

I'm really kean to assist. Still, if you had let us known the name of the place you found near Lucerne, I would have had an idea how far the place outside Berne should be. E.g., I don't consider Gstaad or Interlaken to be "near" Berne (they are actually 80, resp. 60 kms away).

So, please give us the name of the place near Lucerne or tell us what you consider "near" and we would only be too happy to assist.

Answer 3

very close to Bern there is not much beautiful. i would go to Spiez, a little village located directly at the lake of Thun only 10km away from Thun and 20km away from Interlaken.

Thun is a really cool medieval town with a supposedly haunted castle.
