Lake Brienz by Helicopter
Lake Brienz is Lake Thun's smaller sister lake, separated from it by the town of Interlaken and known for unusually clear, pale turquoise water fed by alpine glaciers. Together the two lakes form the gateway into the Bernese Oberland.
Seeing it by helicopter
Routes that continue past Lake Thun toward the high peaks typically pass Lake Brienz as well, with Interlaken visible as the narrow strip of land separating the two lakes -- a view that makes clear why the town's name literally means "between the lakes".

Good to know
- •Like Lake Thun, this is usually seen as part of a longer route into the mountains rather than a dedicated stop.
- •Lake Brienz is known for being even clearer and paler turquoise than Lake Thun, a difference that's easiest to notice when both lakes are visible in the same flight.
- •Interlaken, sitting directly between the two lakes, is a useful landmark for orienting yourself to which lake is which from the air.
What's the difference between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz?
They're two separate lakes split by the town of Interlaken, with Lake Brienz generally known for even clearer, paler turquoise water than Lake Thun. Helicopter routes from Bern into the Bernese Oberland often show both in the same flight.
