Overview

The Beatus Caves Ticket offers an opportunity to explore one of Switzerland's largest cave systems. Visitors begin their journey at the adjacent cave museum, which provides insights into the geology and scientific research related to the caves. The tour includes a walk through approximately one kilometre of the Beatus Caves, where you can admire illuminated stalactite formations and follow streams and waterfalls along the way.

Located above Lake Thun, the Beatus Caves maintain a constant temperature between 8 and 10°C. Along the roughly one-hour circular route, which involves 297 steps and an ascent of 87 metres in altitude, you'll encounter grottos, ravines, and halls. The path is well maintained but always damp. Visitors can enhance their experience with an audio guide available in English, German, and French or by using the free "Saint Beatus" app.
