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.
5. Pfingstegg

4.5 based on 273 reviews
Experience a day full of adventures on the Pfingstegg, the one and only family destination above Grindelwald. Hiking enthusiasts can hike up the mountain using one of our hiking paths and epicures enjoy a ride up with our gondola and a spectacular view over the glacier valley. At the top you will find several attractions for fun, to slow down and for curiosity: the toboggan, the brand-new fly-line and our fabled treasure hunt. And for a unique dinner, make a reservation for one of our gondola dinners.

2 8yr olds loved the short cable car ride up to the toboggan run which is on a loop so you can go on as many times before you come down. 8 yr olds were allowed on the run alone. We went on with ours first to get an idea of the speed, rules and general feel of the run as suggested by the staff. 1 was confident to go on a couple of runs by himself and loved it. Free small bouncy castle zip wire and playground for younger ones plus the cafe were good ideas. To save money we only paid for the cable car up the mountain and walked down which took about 90 mins with the kids. Whilst some parts of the descent were a bit hazardous both children managed it with little or no assistance. Definitely recommended...both parents also lives the toboggan!
6. Niesenbahn AG
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 57 reviews
The restaurant/hotel at the top of the Niesen was built in 1856, 50 years before the funicular. In 2002 was the opening of the clear-cut, geometrically-designed and transparent restaurant pavillon to the public. The modern, functional architecture catches the eye and stands in contrast to the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains. Discover and enjoy the special atmosphere of the Niesen, its good food and fantastic alpine panorama.

One of the crown jewels in the Interlaken area; off the beaten path, normal tourist won't make it here but, it's one the most spectacular rides in the Bernese Oberland area. Slightly more expensive than most funiculars but, ride is a part of the Bernese-Oberland Regional Pass Network; reserve minimum of 3 hours. The hiking trail to the top offers spectacular views, Class 1 all the way with numerous switch backs; reserve 5 hours to hike to the top. We will hike next time. The restaurant at the top is good.

The nice and old funicular train ride to get up to Reichenbach Falls and a fairly spectacular set of watter falls when you get to the top.
