Meetings at the water’s edge

A thin blanket of mist hovers above the smooth waters beside Hotel Blausee, creating an almost mythical atmosphere. With its two restaurants, a large terrace and a spa with direct views of the lake, the beautiful Grandhotel with 21 rooms and conference facilities for up to 90 attendees is the ideal place for seminars and meetings amid idyllic nature. During creative breaks, team members can browse the books in the library or wander through the garden. Alternatively, you can also re-energise body and mind with a stroll by the lake or in the magical forest close by.

In and around the Grimsel Hospiz, both water and creativity are in full flow. The beautiful stone building sits enthroned above the crystal waters of the Grimsel Lake at nearly 2000 metres above sea. First documented in 1142, the historic inn is forward thinking in terms of energy use, and has been heated with industrial waste heat from electricity generation since 2010. Up to 150 people can be accommodated in the large tower hall, while the two smaller rooms are ideal for more informal meetings, or can serve as additional breakout rooms.

Tradition meets modern age at the Grandhotel Giessbach in Brienz. Situated high above the lake and far away from the hustle and bustle, you will find a symbiosis of modern-day comforts and the era of the Belle Époque. The graceful and charming building and surrounding gardens benefit from a stunning view of Lake Brienz and the Giessbach waterfalls. Grandhotel Giessbach offers five state-of-the-art and richly ornamented banqueting and seminar rooms for between 10 and 200 people, as well as beautifully furnished accommodation.

The Deltapark Vitalresort is nestled in the serene landscape of the Kander river delta, surrounded by two nature reserves. It lies right on the shores of Lake Thun. Events can be organised in the hotel’s exclusive lakeside villas with direct access to the lake. 11 seminar rooms offer space for up to 200 people as well as an idyllic seminar garden with barefoot path to relax between sessions. A wide range of activities and social programmes offer a change of pace.

Quietly situated, Hotel Bellevue is a well-appointed 4-star boutique and conference hotel with 50 rooms.

How about an event on the water? The BLS Lake Cruise Ltd. boats provide ideal conditions for exceptional events. The business boat "Schilthorn" is the perfect platform for presentations and corporate events of any kind. With stunning views of the Bernese Oberland in every direction, this mini convention centre on Lake Thun allows you to combine business with beauty. Welcome on board!

Located in the middle of town, yet right by the water, the Schwellenmätteli Restaurants in Bern are an emotional mixture of culinary highlights and heart-warming romance. Their unique position on the banks of the Aare river, with views of Bern’s historic centre, give your event that special something. The multifunctional rooms with state-of-the-art technology provide space for 50 to 180 participants. And thanks to the flexibly usable infrastructure, every event can be individually designed.

Part of a nature reserve, the picturesque Lauenensee lies in a valley basin at the foot of a rugged rock face, where the imposing Geltenschuss waterfall plunges down a 200-metre drop. A small distance above the lake, the historic Bühlhaus am Lauenensee is the ideal location for a corporate event amid idyllic nature. The venue can accommodate up to 80 people seated indoors and 120 outdoors. Several catering firms are available to provide a complete culinary experience.

Just imagine: a car-free place that can only be reached by boat, on foot or by bike. When you are secluded and immersed in nature, your inspiration and creativity will flow. Jean-Jacques Rousseau once found inspiration on St. Peter’s Island in the Bernese Seeland, framed by picturesque Lake Biel. The historic and unique monastery hotel in the nature reserve offers a creative ambience with excellent regional cuisine. A think tank where you can work undisturbed and develop strategies and visions and where you will come up with ideas.
