The St. Beatus Caves (St. Beatus-H\u00f6hlen) are one of the most impressive natural attractions in Switzerland, located above the shores of Lake Thun near Interlaken. Set dramatically into a cliffside, the caves are known for their spectacular entrance framed by waterfalls and panoramic views over the lake and surrounding mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondo la leggenda, le grotte prendono il nome da san Beato, un monaco irlandese che vi avrebbe vissuto scacciandone un drago. Oggi il sito unisce bellezza naturale e storia culturale ed \u00e8 una meta amata sia dai turisti sia dalla gente del posto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosa vedere e sperimentare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inside the caves, visitors can explore around 1 kilometer of illuminated pathways, part of a cave system explored for some 14 kilometers, passing through grottos filled with stalactites, stalagmites, waterfalls and underground streams. The formations have developed over millions of years, creating intricate shapes and textures enhanced by subtle lighting. Informational displays along the route explain the geology and history of the caves. The walk takes about an hour, and the temperature inside stays at 8\u201310 \u00b0C all year, so bring a jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oltre alle grotte, il sito comprende un museo delle grotte, un ristorante con terrazza sul lago, un parco giochi con scivolo a forma di drago e sentieri ben curati nei dintorni. La visita \u00e8 adatta alla maggior parte dei viaggiatori, ma si consigliano scarpe comode perch\u00e9 il fondo \u00e8 bagnato e a tratti irregolare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prezzi e come arrivare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Admission costs CHF 20 for adults and CHF 12 for children aged 6\u201316, and a family ticket is CHF 52; the cave museum is included. The caves are open daily all year: in the 2026 summer season (28 March \u2013 8 November) from 9:00 to 18:00, until 21:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, with shorter hours in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The caves are easily accessible from nearby towns. From Interlaken, visitors can take a bus (line 21) toward Thun and get off at the \u201cBeatush\u00f6hlen\u201d stop, followed by a short uphill walk (about 10\u201315 minutes). Alternatively, it is possible to arrive by boat on Lake Thun, stopping at Beatush\u00f6hlen and walking up to the entrance. For those traveling by car, parking is available near the site, though spaces can be limited during peak tourist season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
