Männlichen – the mountain and nature experience with a view

Combine adventure and relaxation with views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau

Männlichen offers a wide range of exciting experiences all year round. In winter, you can turn on carefully groomed slopes against an impressive backdrop of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks. From spring to autumn, explore the wild and romantic mountain landscape on foot and hike along adventure trails through beautiful countryside. Relax in the Berghaus Männlichen hotel and restaurant and treat yourself to some culinary delights as you gaze at the stunning view of the Jungfrau Region.

Experience nature up close in summer and winter

A visit to the Männlichen is a highlight. The impressive mountain backdrop of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and surrounding mountain peaks is an amazing sight that will take your breath away. These majestic mountains appear to be within easy reach. This natural paradise offers a wide variety of experiences. Whether you’re a nature lover, keen hiker or enthusiastic fan of winter sports, you’ll find a diverse range of activities to enjoy at any time of year. Thanks to the new 10-seater Grindelwald-Männlichen gondola cable car and its direct link to the new Bernese Oberland Railway stop “Grindelwald Terminal”, you can now reach the excursion and ski destination quickly and easily.

Sampling culinary delights and soaking up the sun

Berghaus Männlichen has plenty of spaces where you can sit awhile as you relax and unwind. Enjoy the impressive views from the spacious sun terrace and panoramic restaurant, and treat yourself to some culinary delights in the heart of the mountains. Various events are regularly held on the Männlichen throughout the year: from the Mountain Spring Festival to the hearty Jazz Brunch, or the popular traditional costume festival, the Trachtenfest. The sunset barbecue in summer is an experience in a class of its own. Feast your eyes on the stunning view as you tuck into some delicious grilled food.

Royal summit and trail experiences

In the summer months, the sunlit meadows and alpine pastures are filled with flowers. And on hot days, the mountains are the perfect place to cool down. Explore the different adventure trails with your family. Ever blown an alphorn or milked a cow? Why not give these a try on the Lieselotte trail. The Royal Walk is another highlight, a trail that leads you from Männlichen Summit station to the panoramic Männlichen Summit, the so-called "Bira". Only 120 metres in altitude stand between the Mountain Summit station and the full royal summit experience.
