Granted, being active when bathing is less of a priority for us than drifting, relaxing, leaning back. To be weightless – and with the most beautiful view of the picturesque scenery of the Bernese Oberland. It is therefore very appropriate that in the in the immediate vicinity of THE HEY HOTEL we have not only two beautiful lakes, but can also offer you deeply relaxing bathing areas for unwinding.
On the one hand, there are the relaxing bathing beaches located directly on the lake. On the other hand, you can naturally also choose a little spot in one of the publicly accessible bathing beaches on the lake. In the summer, such a lake in Interlaken already reaches 17 to 21 degrees. Isn’t that refreshing?
