St. Beatus-Höhlen, Swiss Caves

That’s cave is a great experience and worth one visit. This can be an educational also for kids. There are various spots in the cave that provide information about the history and science behind the cave and different types of lime residue formation. This can be a great experience for kids. Reaching this place is also convenient but with lesser bus frequency. If you are traveling by car, they have limited space for parking and they charge flat 8 CHF (as of Oct 2025). You can either pay the parking by card, cash or use EasyPark app.

Very nice cave, about 2 km long. Great place for visit. My tips: 1) Because there is cold inside, better to bring a jacket, no matter how hot it is outside. 2) The best way to arrive at 10:00 by car or by bus, because there are very few parking spots available and less people will be inside. 3) Leave your bag and huge things in the car, because before entering to the cave there are a 1 km upstairs.

Amazing experience. Nice and cool inside the cave. It goes very deep into the mountain. If you are tall, you’ll need to stoop a little through many sections. Food is pretty pricey, but that’s everywhere in Switzerland really. A 500ml bottle of still water was 5 CHF.

You have to visit this cave. It has a rich history and its about 30mins of walking, and spans 926m deep into the cave. Along the way you see so many different formations of rocks and there is even an Grand-Tour landmark photo booth towards the end.

St. Beatus Caves are an amazing place to visit in Switzerland. The walk up to the entrance already gives you beautiful views of Lake Thun, and once inside, the caves are fascinating with their rock formations, waterfalls, and underground passages. The paths are well lit and safe, making it easy to explore. There’s also a small museum and a restaurant with a stunning view, which makes the trip even better. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys nature and unique experiences.

St. Beatus Caves was a perfect half-day solo adventure. It’s peaceful, mysterious, and just touristy enough to feel safe without being overrun. You don’t need a guide or a group, just a sense of curiosity and a willingness to get a little lost in the underground world. Would definitely recommend it if you're traveling solo through central Switzerland and want to break up the usual mountain/lake itinerary with something different.

Very nice caves, about 1km long after the entrance. It's always cold inside, so remember to bring a jacket, no matter how hot it is outside. The best way to arrive is by bus, because there are very few parking spots available and it's a much longer way up from the boat. But well worth the visit.

There's also a cafe 10 meters above the street. Great views. Even higher is Restaurant Stein & Sein, also great views. These do not require a ticket to the caves.
