The Hauenstein Group on Lake Thun has been in business since 1954 and is now managed by the 3rd generation of the Hauenstein family. It was founded by Walter Hauenstein and remains 100% family-owned to this day. The Group has always been dedicated to the Lake Thun region - actively shaping it through its "Real Estate", "Hotels & Restaurants" and "Healthcare" divisions.
The Hauenstein Group will remain a 100% family-owned business. The company has grown steadily since its foundation in 1954 and will continue to develop; with constant consideration of our employees and the environment. The Hauenstein family always has been - and will continue to be - committed to the Lake Thun region.
Nathalie Hauenstein
Executive Board, Hauenstein Group
Successful partnerships have always been a cornerstone of the Hauenstein Group's success. We prioritise collaboration based on trust and mutual support. Long-term partnerships are more important than short-term profit.
We strive for the highest quality of service. We value feedback from customers, business partners and employees, and are always open to new ideas.
We support events and projects that are important for the Lake Thun region - ones that offer added value for the community and local economic players (including the Hauenstein Group and its stakeholders).
Our employees are the most important source of our success. Our employee policy is based on the following principles. We promote and provide training for our staff - consistently striving for long-term collaboration. We aim to be a company that employees can identify with.
When considering sustainability and environmental management within our real estate projects, we aim to supply buildings with renewable energy and produce our own electricity using photovoltaic systems. Our hotels and restaurants focus on the seasonality of the products offered, and obtain these whenever possible from regional suppliers. We also rely on collaboration with long-standing partners with similar philosophies.
