Hotels in Lake Brienz, Switzerland

Lake Brienz sits in Switzerland's Bernese Oberland, famous for its brilliant turquoise water against the Alps. Summers are mild, usually 70-80°F (20-25°C), perfect for renting a paddleboat or hiking to Giessbach Falls, where you can watch the waterfall cascade into the lake. Winters drop to 20-30°F (-5 to 0°C), so swap the boat for a walk through the village of Brienz, a place known for woodcarving workshops since the 19th century.
