Bluemli

Beautiful 1-bedroom apartment

Stay in Swiss Oberland

The Bluemli is a beautiful one-bedroom apartment with a great view of the mountains and a partial view of Lake Thun. It is situated in a residential neighborhood above the train station.

The spacious apartment has a bedroom with a queen bed (split mattress) (TV), a bathroom with shower, a large living room/dining room area (TV), and a well-equipped kitchen. The apartment is tastefully decorated in a traditional style, but with a modern flair. The living space is open and airy, with good light and comfortable places to lounge. It also features a beautiful big dining table. The kitchen has a small table with bar stools suitable for quick meals and snacks. There is even a nice garden with a table and chairs for an evening glass of wine or a morning coffee. The large garden has a pretty, small pond.

The train station can be reached in about 10 minutes (downhill from apartment). A bus to/from the train station goes right in front of the house and can save walking time if the schedule works. The Migros supermarket is across from the train station. There are a variety of restaurants near the station and more can be found down by the lake.

Spiez, Switzerland - Oberland, Home of Bluemli

Spiez is a lakeside town of nearly 13,000 inhabitants. It’s between the charming city of Thun and the international resort town of Interlaken. It’s also close to the gorgeous hiking village of Kandersteg to the south.

Spiez has a Migros supermarket, a number of nice restaurants, and various stores and shops. Spiez is also known for its bright, crisp white wine, made in very small quantities from local vineyards. There is even a museum focused on the long history of local winemaking. Spiez also has a small castle, parts of which date back to 933.

Rail travel from Spiez is very convenient with frequent direct trains to Interlaken; Thun; Bern, Basel; Zurich Airport; and less frequent trains even to Milan, Italy and Hamburg, Germany. Boat services on Lake Thun are accessed from the ship station at the bottom of the town. There’s no better way to experience the lake than on a comfortable lake ship.
