Steaming up by rail to the top of the Brienzer Rothorn: it’s not just railway enthusiasts who go into raptures at the sight of these sheer rocky ridges and the views of Lake Brienz.
Experience the thrill of travelling by vintage steam railway as it negotiates 1,680 m in altitude difference and puffs its way up to the Brienzer Rothorn. The journey from Brienz takes around one hour, through a landscape of pastures, meadows and forests, past the soaring rock faces of the sheer ridge. Up on the Brienzer Rothorn itself, the Alps of central Switzerland await, along with the peaks of the Bernese Alps rising to over 4,000 m.
