Enjoy the water in the fun park

Splashing and swimming in the summer

Gurten lake

The Gurten lake is the ideal place to cool off in the refreshing water. In good weather, water fountains like those on Bundesplatz spray one and a half meters into the air, ensuring lots of fun in the water. The turquoise water offers kids the chance to play and splash around to their heart’s content. On the surrounding natural wood areas, you can while away the hours drying off without burning your feet. Like many other activities, access to the Gurten lake is free of charge, and is a genuine highlight for younger visitors throughout the summer.

Remember your swimsuits the next time you take a family excursion to the Gurten. And if you forget to bring your sunscreen, you can always buy some at the Gurten shop by the Bahnhöfli take-away stand.
