The funicular has climbed Interlaken’s local mountain since 1908. It seems as if nature had intended to build this kind of viewing pulpit just for the benefit of tourists. The funicular’s valley station is close to the Interlaken Ost Train Station. During the 8-minute ride up Mount Harder, the train rolls on steep tracks through a forest belt. A gradient of 64 per cent has to be overcome. Because of the complex geological conditions, half of the stretch had to built on bridges.
From the valley station you will get in a few minutes to Harder-Kulm, a restaurant with turrets and a red tiled roof, whose architecture is protected as a Swiss heritage site. From the panoramic terrace you can catch a broad view of the famous lakes of Interlaken, Thun and Brienz as well as the Bernese Mountains rising behind them.
