Bernese Oberland resort town between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz at 568m elevation — the practical gateway to the Jungfrau region (Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau peaks) and Switzerland's most-visited Alpine destination. Höheweg (the central pedestrian boulevard between the two lakes) is the dense walkable core. Switzerland has no formal DNV; long-stay residence permits require employer sponsorship or substantial means. Schengen-associated. Genuinely expensive (Swiss-Alpine premium); tourist density is real year-round. The structural draws are world-class lake-and-mountain geography and full Swiss-rail-infrastructure access.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
