Niederhorn Gondola Cable Car – taking you to your ringside seat

Enjoy a panoramic ride on the Niederhornbahn. The journey takes you from Beatenbucht up to the Niederhorn in around 20 minutes. Enjoy the imposing panorama of the spectacular peaks of the Bernese Alps throughout your trip. An excursion to the Niederhorn is worthwhile whatever the time of year.

The summit of the Niederhorn is just under 2000 m above sea level and towers above Beatenberg. Whatever the time of year, you will have a fantastic panoramic view of Lake Thun, the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and many other imposing mountain peaks. On a clear day, you’ll enjoy a view over the Aare valley and as far as the Jura. A ten-minute journey on the funicular railway takes you from Beatenbucht to Beatenberg, where you can take the cable car to the summit. The journey to the upper station takes ten minutes and is a memorable experience in itself. You're sure to be amazed by the Bernese Oberland’s unique landscape of mountains and lakes.
