The Panoramabrücke Sigriswil is more than just a bridge—it’s a unique alpine experience high above Lake Thun. Stretching 340 meters in length and hanging 180 meters above the Gummischlucht gorge, this pedestrian suspension bridge provides one of the most striking views in the Bernese Oberland. From the center of the bridge, visitors can enjoy panoramic vistas of Lake Thun, the Niederhorn, and the iconic trio of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
The bridge is part of the Panorama Rundweg Thunersee, a scenic trail that loops around Lake Thun, connecting picturesque villages with stunning viewpoints. The section between Sigriswil and Aeschlen is particularly popular thanks to the bridge, which offers an exciting, yet safe walk across the gorge. Built with high-tech materials and engineered for comfort and stability, it’s suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
Sigriswil itself is a charming village perched above the lake, known for its peaceful atmosphere, tidy chalets, and flower-filled balconies. The area around the bridge includes cafés, restaurants, and small local museums—making it easy to combine the visit with a relaxing break or a cultural stop.
Whether you’re an avid hiker, a photographer, or just someone looking for a short but spectacular stroll, the Panoramabrücke Sigriswil is an unforgettable highlight. It’s a perfect addition to a day trip around Lake Thun and offers alpine thrill without needing mountain boots.
Please note: a small bridge toll applies (approx. CHF 8), which helps fund maintenance and is well worth the price for the experience.
