Dive-site story
Fischbalme sits along the steep northern shore of Lake Thun, presenting an alpine drop-off directly accessible from the rocky shoreline. Divers cross a narrow shelf before descending along a vertical rock face broken by boulder piles, sunken timber, and sediment-covered ledges where cold-water fish congregate. Buoyancy control remains critical on deeper profiles to avoid disturbing the loose substrate.
