Thun at a glance

Thun lies where the Aare leaves Lake Thun, with the Stockhorn, the Niesen and the Bernese Alps in view, and is the gateway to the Bernese Oberland. The town is German-speaking and belongs to the canton of Bern; its castle, built by the Zähringen dukes around 1190, rises above the old town. Thun is also the Swiss Army's largest garrison town. Residential quarters such as Dürrenast, Gwatt, Lerchenfeld and Goldiwil mix flats with family houses and gardens. Requests range from cleaning and moving help to garden care, hedge trimming, furniture assembly and errands for older residents. Customary moving dates in the canton of Bern vary by municipality, so check your lease before you book help for a move.
