Ever since 1892, the summer months in Brienz have witnessed a hissing, huffing and puffing that are nonetheless pleasing to the ear, eye and nose. It comes from the Brienz Rothorn Railway, whose locomotives have for three generations climbed the 1,678 metres to the summit of the Brienz Rothorn without ever running short of puff.

Both the ride and the route are as impressive as they are romantic.
At the 2,350-metre summit, your eyes take in an almost inconceivably vast panorama. The Alps of Central Switzerland, with the Pilatus, Rigi and Titlis; the peaks of the Bernese Oberland topping 4,000 metres, including the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau; and over in the Jura, the Chasseral: all can be seen on a clear day.
The Brienz Rothorn Railway, Switzerland's oldest steam cog railway, has climbed Rothorn Kulm (2244m) hissing, huffing and puffing since 1892. Try conquering 1,678 meters of altitude differential and 25% gradient without getting short of breath! Six tunnels and and two galleries make for a thrilling change during the ride.The reward for the ride is a spectacular mountain panorama, the hospitality of the Rothorn Kulm Hotel and a wide selection of incomparable hikes.
