Shedding light on car parks

Here, parking becomes a feel-good experience. For a lively and liveable city centre you also need a parking concept that ensures it. The Parkhaus Thun AG operates a car park ring consisting of the four car parks City Nord Grabengut, City West Aarestrasse, City Süd Bahnhof, and City Ost Schloss­berg which have all won awards and ensure short walking distances to the city centre of Thun. Usability, safety, and cleanliness are of the highest priority.

The design of the car park not only blends in well with the Schlossberg, it also reduces traffic on the hill and takes the pedestrians directly to the old town or on the Schlossberg.

Especially during the dark winter months, the lighting and safety concept of the car parks becomes increasingly important. Good lighting contributes significantly to the sense of security of people parking their cars. The purposeful use of light and colours simplifies orientation and significantly increases comfort when parking. In addition, Parkhaus Thun AG uses classical music to create a pleasant atmosphere.

The heart of the car park ring is the most recently opened City Ost Schloss­berg, which particularly stands out due to its 100-metre-long pedestrian passageway with its incomparable light installation. It consists of illuminated panels that accompany visitors through the passageway in a rainbow sequence. This is not only a unique connecting route, but, together with the frequently used lift to the castle hill, it has been created as a special parking experience. As Managing Director Katharina Fahrni says, «Even parking should be a pleasant experience. That is what we consider our mission.»

 

Both Parking City Süd Bahnhof and City Ost Schlossberg have been awarded the Gold Award by the  European Parking Association (ESPA), which stands for the highest standards of safety and amenity.

The rainbow colours of the Schlossbergpassageway create a special parking ex­perience – and at the same time invite  visitors to capture them in memorable selfies.
