The glass-sided funicular railway conveys you in comfort from Beatenbucht to the sun terrace at Beatenberg in only ten minutes. After a short stopover, you continue your journey on the modern cable car up to the summit of the Niederhorn. The ascent is both magical and imposing, because the journey time of just under 20 minutes gives you plenty of time to relax and enjoy the snow-capped mountains and lakes. You get to see the majestic Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau from the best possible angle – the perfect backdrop for a souvenir photo of your winter sports trip.
The Niederhorn offers sensational views over a wonderful sea of fog. Only the highest peaks can be seen jutting out above the clouds. On clear days, you can expect a 360° winter panorama on the mountain. The view over the glistening Lake Thun is spectacular and even from afar, the Niederhorn never fails to impress. Enjoy the snow-covered alpine scenes extending over the Aare valley to the world-famous mighty peaks of the Bernese Oberland giants and even as far as the Jura.
