Panorama-Restaurant Alpen Tower was completed in the summer of 1999 on Planplatten, the viewing plateau high above Meiringen. The Alpen Tower can be easily reached from Meiringen and Hasliberg Reuti by train. From Meiringen in the valley, the modern aerial cable car takes visitors to Hasliberg Reuti. Here, you can hop on the 8-seater gondola train “Alpen Tower Express" to Mägisalp. The journey continues aboard the splendid Eagle Express, the first 8-seater gondola train in the Bernese Oberland, which conveys you comfortably to the Alpen Tower at 2250 meters.
From the Alpen Tower a pass road leads in 5 minutes to the nearby viewing point on the Planplatten Ridge. Illustrated markers give information on the surrounding peaks and Alpine passes. If you just want to relax, enjoy the 360° panorama while sipping a cool drink.
Popular hiking tours are the high altitude trail to Käserstatt (from here a gondola runs down to Hasliberg Wasserwendi) or the crossing to Tannalp / Melchsee-Frutt, Engstlenalp and further on the Joch Pass to Engelberg.
