Lake Brienz

Lake Brienz stretches between the Bernese Alps and the Bödeli plain in the Bernese Oberland, with the Aare carrying alpine water through the lake towards Interlaken. Its blue-green colour comes from glacial sediment brought down from the surrounding mountains. The Giessbach Falls descend into the southern shore near the historic Grandhotel Giessbach, while Brienz at the eastern end is closely associated with Switzerland’s woodcarving tradition.
