Heimwehfluh – panorama and experiences high above Interlaken

Just a few minutes’ walk from Interlaken West station, the nostalgic cable car takes you up the Heimwehfluh. The mountain offers a wide range of adventurous activities for young and old alike, from a sledging run to a playground.

The nostalgic cable car, which is over 100 years old, takes you from Interlaken up the Heimwehfluh in only four minutes. The base station is easy and quick to reach. Several car parks are available in the immediate vicinity and Interlaken West station is only a few minutes’ walk away. The short drive, with its views over Lake Thun, the town of Interlaken and the surrounding villages is unforgettable and well worth undertaking. The locals affectionately refer to the flood plain between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz as the “Bödeli”.

Personal tip
“The magnificent view over Lake Thun and Interlaken alone made the trip to Heimwehfluh worth it. Our children had a lot of fun in the playground. We all enjoyed the fast sledging run through the forest down to the base station.”
