Switzerland

Hilterfingen

Hilterfingen is a small Swiss town on Lake Thun in the Bern region. Switzerland is landlocked, so there’s no local saltwater diving. The area offers freshwater diving possibilities in lakes and quarries nearby, but not within the town itself. For divers, the city serves as a tranquil base for day trips to lake and freshwater dive sites around the Bernese Oberland, with reliable accessibility by road and rail. If you’re visiting for off-water activities, you’ll find lush landscapes, alpine scenery, and easy access to outdoor recreation, with some dive centers focused on training or equipment services in the region.
