Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
No general Lake Thun marine-park tag exists in the verified evidence, and no single region-wide recreational scuba entry license or permit fee could be established. This does not mean every lake entry is open: local seasonal bans, nature reserves, land ownership and operator rules can apply. Budget for Swiss accommodation and visitor taxes, transport, fills or tuition, and optional boat trips. The following operator prices are date-specific 2026 examples, not immutable offers or guaranteed availability.
| Fee | Amount | Applies to | Where to pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General recreational scuba entry pass | No region-wide price verified Not established | Scuba | Confirm with local dive center and municipal or cantonal authorities | Do not assume that the lack of a published universal pass makes any private, protected or seasonally restricted site accessible. |
| Lake Thun cylinder air fill | CHF 8 to CHF 12 in published operator pricing Per cylinder fill; current price must be rechecked | Scuba | Dive Center Thunersee, Hilterfingen | Pricing varies by cylinder capacity and any access arrangement; nitrox has a separate quoted rate. Confirm tank, valve, gas type and opening or authorized 24-hour access. Operator filling price list. |
| SSI complete freediver instruction | CHF 490 advertised for 2026 sessions Per course and scheduled enrollment | Freedive | Dive Center Thunersee | The advertised course combines theory, pool and open-water instruction. A November 28 to 29, 2026 session was listed at the research cutoff; confirm places, medical prerequisites and extra card or rental charges. Published operator freediver course schedule. |
| SSI snorkeling course | CHF 89 on published 2026 dates Per scheduled lesson, with signup deadline | Snorkel | Dive Center Thunersee | Operator training, not a guided lake snorkel tour. The October 31, 2026 example had an October 26 registration cutoff, already past by the research cutoff. |
| Faulensee Lido admission | Free As listed by official tourism; subject to access notices | Snorkel, swimming, topside | Faulensee Lido | Official venue lists free admission and year-round grounds. Cold weather and local swimming rules still apply. |
| Spiez Lido admission | Current rate not established in this packet Seasonal, generally May to September | Swimming, topside | Spiez Lido | Check the venue for latest ticket category, pool access and hours. A surface-bathing fee does not provide a scuba permit. |
| Accommodation visitor tax | Variable by municipality and lodging Per applicable overnight stay | All overnight visitors | Accommodation provider | Member accommodations may issue PanoramaCard Thunersee, which includes specified local bus benefits but not train rides. |
| BLS scheduled lake cruise | Fare varies by route, ticket and discounts Per sailing or day-ticket product | Topside | BLS official booking and ticket channels | A qualifying PanoramaCard may give a discount on certain lake cruises, not free universal transport. Confirm season and sailing. |
