Kiental is not considered as one of the top tourist spots of the Bernese Oberland. "Quiet Oasis" is a much better description. All those who look for the solitude of the mountains, the roaring of the waterfalls and love the natural fragrance of the forests and meadows, and are not afraid of steep trails will be fully rewarded by profound experiences of pure nature. Within short walking distance, you find ancient forests with transparent streams and crashing waterfalls as well as nearby hiking and cross-country paths. Kiental offers relaxation at any time of the year and includes several sports possibilities (swimming, tennis, hiking, biking, paragliding, Nordic walking, snow walking, cross-country skiing, skating, sledding and more). In every direction you see the magnificence of nature: glaciers, lakes, deep forests, green grass, wildlife, snow capped mountains and incredible skies.
The magnificent Lake of Thoune nearby offers a great number of additional possibilities for sports and recreation like golf (3 golf courses), sailing (there are sailing schools and the Kientalerhof has a sailboat), surfing, swiming, rafting, canouing, amateur piloting, horseback riding, balloon flying, hiking, biking and so on.
The Kientalerhof has been training and coaching adults successfully for more than 20 years and it has gained a remarkable international reputation for it's outstanding courses and trainings. The center stands for personal integrity and and professional competence, offers room for recognition, awareness and personal development and it is politically and religiously independent.
The house is more than hundred years old. With its carefully renovated beautiful lecture halls and lounges in bright and pleasant colours and together with the impressive natural surroundings it provides the best prerequisites for personal growth and creativity. The house has been renovated and expanded according to Feng Shui principles and using primarily ecological materials.
The hotel kitchen prepares balanced and richly varied natural meals which are mostly vegeterian. It is considered as one of the particular strengths of the Kientalerhof. The bar is a place to relax, to exchange thoughts, to be together with friends and to dance spontaneously to the animating music of the "Barefoot Disco". The regular morning exercises are always well received. For sport and physical fitness, there are an outdoor swimming pool (in summer), a sauna, a steam bath, and a whirlpool.
Since its inception as a seminar hotel, the Kientalerhof has always had the objective to support its students and the development of personal and professional growth in a holistic and creative way. It is also a place to meet people and to build new and often long lasting friendships.
