    Dear all,

    I have come across the travel service in Swiss under the passes coverage.

    there is a Scenic route – BLS Navigation services on Lakes Thun and Brienz.

    and Public waterway services – BLS Lakes Thun and Brienz

    May i know if still two are actually the same thing?

    For you advice please. 🙂

    Best Regards,

    Tingting

    Hi Tingting,

    You will find the BLS timetable for boats on both lakes at bit.ly/32bjDdH. Be sure to scroll down to the appropriate season you plan to travel. Boat trips on both lakes are indeed covered by the Swiss Travel Pass (which I am assuming you are referring to).

    Yes, the same company operates the lake boats on both the Thunersee and Brienzersee. The company is BLS (originally stood for Bern – Lötschberg – Simplon railway) as they are the company that owns the main line railways in the area (ie Bern – Interlaken and Bern – Brig)
