Why should you visit Niederhorn? What an easy question. You have the best view over the Alps and even more so of the stunning Lake Thun which lies directly in front of the beautiful mountain scape. So, grab your camera and come and visit the Neiderhorn where you can capture the mountains, lakes, cows and all other Swiss beauty in one perfect picture.
We were taking a day-trip, driving around the north side of Lake Thun and, of course, going up the Niederhorn was on our list of things to do. We parked at the garage at Beatenbucht Station and took the funicular railway train to Beatenberg, which is probably 1/4th of the way up. From there we switched to the aerial cable car (gondola) for the ride to the summit. The ride takes you to an elevation 6,440 feet, providing a fantastic panoramic view of Lake Thun and the entire Bernese Alps. The ascending trip takes about an hour and the photo ops are endless. At the top, there is a restaurant, a playground for the kids, and numerous hiking trails. It was a beautiful afternoon and we could have hopped on one of the trails for a long scenic hike but instead, we just walked along the ridge on one of the trails for a short distance. We then got a table on the patio of the restaurant, enjoyed the view, and had some coffee and cake. The views of the Alps were spectacular: some of the best that we saw on our vacation. The ride up is a little expensive, but how many times will you get a chance to do this? A "must" place to visit while you are in Switzerland.

The Beatus Trail is not a difficult or long trail by Swiss standards, but is delightful nonetheless, primarily because of the effort put in to making the signs along the way detailing the life of Beatus and prodding the reader to make practical application in their own life. Well done, Beatenberg!
