About Längenschachen
Längenschachen is a relaxed Thunersee shore site with a gentle slope, a comfortable stair entry, and a shallow training area that transitions from stones to seagrass and muddier ground. It works well as a beginner practice site and a calm repeat dive, but summer swimmers and boat traffic mean you need to share the shoreline carefully.
