St. Beatus-Höhlen, Swiss Caves

I cannot begin to explain how beautiful this place is. The cliff above is vast and the fresh breeze from the waterfall is something I will never forget. The caves are exquisitely preserved and fun for the whole family. You wander straight in and turn around to make your way back– the end is absolutely worth it :) There is a decent amount of parking at the foot of the falls with a parking meter as well as restrooms at the top and bottom.

A very nice and beautiful cave. But didn't expect that from the carpark, one needs to hike up a good 10 to 15 minutes to reach the ticketing booth and then the cave entrance. We didn't manage to join the tour but it was not an issue as we have been to many caves and understood the morphology of caves and how they are formed. As caves go by, this is a very safe and kids friendly cave, well-lit too... though not sure why they have lights on permanently as other caves i have been too try hard to not have artificial light inside to prevent the growth of mosses. The musuem was lovely though. I love the insights given to the past and present, and samples of rocks and crystals from the cave, as well as am aquatic aquarium to show 2 species of cave dwelling organisms.

A beautiful place, especially with the snow-covered mountains in the background, offering an exceptional panorama. Unfortunately, I visited during the week, and the site was closed as it only opens on weekends. That said, the area was very peaceful, and I was able to fully enjoy the waterfalls and the spectacular view. The parking lot is located right in front of the entrance and is charged per day, but there are only about twenty spots available, which can be an issue during busy periods. The site is easily accessible by public transport, thanks to bus (N° 21 station Beatushöhlen) from Interlaken or Thun. For those who prefer a more scenic arrival, it is also possible to come by ferry, but this requires about a 10-minute walk to reach the site entrance. A must-visit place, especially for nature and tranquility lovers.

It was a very exciting journey, hiking to the top of the cave then walking inside it, with very beautiful nature around. I enjoyed my trip so much

Caves were difficult to get into since our tickets didn’t work at first. Once in, the caves were interesting but very “made-up”, with railings and lots of sections clearly altered to make way for tourism. Non-guided walk took roughly an hour all in, 45 mins in and 15 mins back since it was the same view both ways. Parking was limited despite multiple car parks. Overall visit was nice, but probably not worth the trip and price for entry.

I wasn't sure what to expect but this was such a beautiful place to visit. It was worth making the trek. The caves and the walk leading up to the caves is fantastic. I would love to visit again one day!

Really quite interesting and beautiful caves. I went unprepared with sandals and no jacket in mid September and it was fine for me but would definitely recommend better of both if you run cold or have a nervous step. For an extra 3 chf I would recommend the tour guide. She stopped a handful of times to tell us the myths and origins of the caves and they were very interesting and she was a good speaker. Very friendly and patient.

These caves and castle were so beautiful😍 The views of the waterfalls going into the lake was stunning! Def a little chilly in the caves, so wear comfy walking shoes and a jacket!
