Brienz Rothorn Bahn: Nostalgia with unforgettable experiences

ATTENTION! Due to storm damage, the Brienz Rothorn cable car will remain closed until the end of the season 2024!

The unforgettable experiences offered by the Brienz-Rothorn tourist rack railway include a large dose of hidden nostalgic and gastronomic exclusivity. Even the trip on the over 125 year-old steam railway up the Brienzer Rothorn mountain, which lies at 2,351 metres above sea level, is a unique experience. It brings to life memories of the romantic days of steam trains long since disappeared. The fact that the never-ending, all-round panoramic view is amongst the most beautiful in the Bernese Oberland is often only mentioned in passing.

Guests with a Berner Oberland Pass are advised to buy a guaranteed seat on the desired departure time online, so that they can be sure of a seat on the desired departure: >>Tickets<<

Special daily presentations

Apart from the opportunities for highly varied mountain walks from the Brienz–Rothorn, the "Special presentations" of the animals that wander everywhere are particularly fascinating. A colony of ibex show off their climbing skills on the rocky slopes. A herd of chamois can be observed with binoculars. It is not unusual to spot golden eagles soaring high on the thermals, followed by ravens and sparrowhawks. Cheeky Alpine choughs fly this way and that in the clean, tangy mountain air. But also cows chew the cud and wild rabbits line the course of the steam railway.

"Steam Sausage Express"

Some attractive services are just as colourful as the diverse countryside on the Brienz-Rothorn tourist rack railway. Such as the popular "Steam Sausage Express". Every Wednesday and Saturday tasty cheese sausages are served with crispy "rack rail" bread at one of the halts on the line. In addition, everyone can take a free trip on the Brienz-Rothorn steam railway if it is their birthday.
