Blausee is a small alpine lake inside a privately managed nature park in Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland. The roughly 20-hectare park is near Kandersteg and Frutigen. It has short forest paths, a playground, barbecue areas, an organic trout farm, and a glass-bottom boat ride during the summer season.
This guide explains current Blausee ticket prices, the difference between day and evening admission, available discounts, what entry includes, how to buy tickets, and the visitor rules that may affect your trip.
Quick Answer
Blausee day tickets currently cost CHF 11 for adults on weekdays and CHF 13 on weekends or holidays. Children aged 6 to 15 pay CHF 7 or CHF 9. Current evening entry begins at 18:00 and costs less, but the summer glass-bottom boat ride is available only with a day ticket.
The lake covers about 0.64 hectares and reaches a maximum depth of 12 metres. It is fed by groundwater from the Kander Valley. Blausee’s official nature-park information links the striking blue appearance to the exceptional clarity of the water and the way light is seen through it. You can read more on the official Blausee Nature Park page.
Warning: Swimming, fishing, feeding trout or sturgeon, throwing stones into the lake, and flying drones are not allowed. Dogs must remain on a lead and may not swim in Blausee.

Blausee Opening Hours and Evening Ticket Times
The Nature Park opens daily at 09:00 and is open 365 days a year. It normally remains open until 21:00, although events and special operating conditions can result in an earlier closing time.
The evening-ticket start is seasonal. Blausee’s FAQ says the cheaper evening rate may begin at 16:00, 17:00, or 18:00 depending on the season. As of July 23, 2026, the live price page shows evening entry beginning at 18:00.
A day ticket is required when you enter before the evening cutoff. Once you are inside, you may normally remain until the park closes, regardless of whether you bought a day or evening ticket.
Note: Do not rely on an old 17:00 evening-entry time. Check the live opening-hours page on the day of your visit because the cutoff changes during the year.
How to Purchase Blausee Tickets
You can purchase admission in advance through the official online shop or after arriving at Blausee. The available purchase points are:
- Online ticket shop: Buy from your phone or computer before travelling.
- Entrance ticket machine: Purchase on-site without visiting the staffed shop.
- Entrance shop: Buy during the shop’s opening hours.
- Check the live price and opening-hours page. Confirm the evening cutoff and any special-event hours.
- Choose a day ticket if you will enter before the evening rate begins. This is also the correct option if you want the summer glass-bottom boat ride.
- Choose an evening ticket for a later, lower-cost visit. The boat does not operate in the evening.
- Select the correct age category. Children aged 5 and under enter free, ages 6 to 15 receive the child price, and visitors aged 16 and over pay the adult price.
- Keep the ticket available on your phone or as instructed by the shop. Follow the purchase confirmation for entry details.
Buy Blausee tickets through the official online shop.
Pro Tip: Buy online before a sunny weekend, public holiday, or peak summer date. Online purchase can help you avoid queuing, although it does not guarantee a parking space.
Group Tickets
The official ticket shop also lists group admission. A group must have at least 10 people. Group entry is one-time and valid only on the booked date. Purchased group tickets are not cancellable or changeable, and bus parking must be booked separately.

Blausee’s visitor car parks are paid, and spaces can fill during high season or events. Depending on the parking area, the walk to the lake is about 300 to 550 metres. Parking can be paid on-site with cash, credit card, or common parking apps.
Blausee recommends public transport during busy periods. The visitor car parks do not have public electric-car charging stations.
Public Transport
Take the train to Frutigen or Kandersteg, change to the bus, and get off at Blausee BE. The walk from the bus stop to the lake is about 350 metres. Use the SBB journey planner for your travel date.
Wheelchairs and Pushchairs
A roughly 300-metre asphalt path leads from the main entrance to the lake. It rises and falls but is generally suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. This route reaches the restaurant and playground. Smaller forest paths have roots, stones, and uneven ground and are not suitable.
The restaurant has a wheelchair-accessible toilet with a changing table.

Lockers for luggage and suitcases are available near the shop in the main car park. They cost CHF 5 per day and must be paid for in Swiss-franc cash.
Free toilets are available:
- In the main visitor car park
- At the water house near the playground

Swimming, Fishing, and Fish Protection
- Swimming is not permitted. The supervised charity ice-swimming event is the stated exception.
- Fishing is not permitted. Visitors may buy or eat Blausee organic trout but may not catch fish themselves.
- Do not feed the fish. Blausee prohibits feeding trout and sturgeon.
- Do not throw stones into the water. Fish may mistake them for food and swallow them.

Dogs enter free and are welcome in the Nature Park, hotel, and restaurant, but they must stay on a lead. Dogs may not swim in Blausee. They are also not allowed in the kitchen, wellness area, or summer llama pasture.
Drones
Drone flights are prohibited inside the Nature Park to protect visitor safety and the privacy of hotel guests.
Tips for Saving Money on Blausee Tickets
- Visit Monday to Friday. Day and evening admission costs less than on weekends or holidays.
- Arrive after the evening cutoff. This saves CHF 2 per paying visitor, but you will miss the glass-bottom boat ride.
- Bring ID on your birthday. Visitors of all ages receive free Nature Park entry on their birthday.
- Use a Bernese Oberland Pass. It provides 50% off Nature Park admission and may cover travel to Blausee within the pass network.
- Use a qualifying regional guest card. Guest cards from Adelboden, Lenk, or Kandersteg provide 50% off admission.
- Reserve a restaurant table in advance. The current FAQ lists a 50% admission refund at lunchtime and a full admission refund in the evening.
- Check the restaurant spending offer. Guests spending at least CHF 30 per person currently receive a free ticket for a future visit.
- Do not pay extra for barbecue wood. Shared barbecue areas and firewood are included with Nature Park admission.
Conclusion: Which Blausee Ticket Should You Buy?
Choose a day ticket if you will arrive before the evening cutoff or want the summer glass-bottom boat ride. Choose an evening ticket if you prefer a later, lower-cost visit and do not need the boat.
The live summer schedule currently starts evening admission at 18:00, but Blausee changes this cutoff by season. Check the official page before leaving, especially if your decision depends on the cheaper evening rate, boat availability, event hours, or the trout-farm show area.
