Dive Spot Guide•
Gunten Bad
Gunten Bad wall dive with stairs, slope, and canyons.
Stair access at the bathing area makes entry easy, but the dive quickly turns into a steep freshwater wall site with seasonal closure and cold-water planning needs.
About Gunten Bad
Gunten Bad is a Lake Thun wall dive entered by stairs from the bathing area. The site begins with a broad slope and then breaks into steeper walls and canyons, so it feels more like a layered alpine freshwater dive than a simple open-water swim. The shallow zone has trees and seagrass, while the deeper section rewards slower, more deliberate navigation.
