Hint

Intro

The Schynige Platte area offers a comfortable and romantic mountain journey on the rack-and-pinion railway, an Alpine garden or a mountain hike to the Faulhorn, as well as a ridge walk with extensive views. This circular tour to the Tuba mountain and across the ridge of the Oberberghorn can also be shortened as desired.

Description

Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau – see the triple diadem close at hand – but take the easy way up! For over 120 years, the little train has conquered gradients of up to 25% to reach the viewing terrace.

The circular tour to the ridge is best started between the mountain station and the hotel. In good conditions, walkers ascend across the western side of the Gumihorn and then continue up to the Tuba, with views of Lake Thun, the Niesen, the Stockhorn and the Jura behind them.

Later on, the view changes and we see Lake Brienz and the long mountain chain as far as the Brienz Rothorn. There is no need to climb the Oberberghorn: a superb view can be enjoyed on both sides of the horizontal bypass route that rejoins the ridge afterwards. This view is truly stunning: the Wetterhorn, Schreckhorn, Finsteraarhorn, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau next to each other, and the Blüemlisalp further to the right.

After well over one kilometer, we make a sharp right turn and walk back to Schynige Platte, looking forward to the return journey in an open railway carriage.

An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
