Two lakes footbridge - Harder Kulm viewing platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can easily reach the Harder Kulm viewing platform via the funicular from Interlaken. Up here you have an incredible view of Interlaken, Lake Thun, Lake Brienz and of course the mountain peaks opposite. Right next to the viewing platform there is also a cozy restaurant with a wonderful panorama. You can find more information about the funicular at jungfrau.ch/shop/de/tickets/bergbahn/angebote/harder-kulm/billete-harderkulm.

Harder Kulm Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Harder Kulm, Interlaken's "local mountain", offers you an incredible view of the surrounding lakes as well as the impressive Bernese Alps. This viewpoint on the western part of the Harder can be easily reached either by funicular or by hiking.
As soon as you get to the top, a fascinating panorama awaits you. The funicular takes you from Interlaken to the Harder Kulm in just 10 minutes and you can visit the Two Lakes Bridge. From there you have a great view of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz as well as the peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

Suggiture Summit

Highlight • Summit

Suggiture is located at 2085m
Fewer people on the summit than on its neighbor, the Augstmatthorn. Nicer, a little rougher, climb from the west 👍🏻😊

Augstmatthorn Summit

Highlight • Summit

Habkern's own mountain, the Augstmatthorn, is a proud 2,136 meters high. You can either ascend to the summit from Harder Kulm or from Habkern. The paths are easy to see, but narrow and partially exposed. Especially in the summit area of the Augstmatthorn, freedom from vertigo and surefootedness are required. A large colony of ibex lives on the steep slopes of the Augsmatthorn and the entire Brienz ridge. Especially in the morning and in the evening you have a good chance to watch the shy mountain goats.

A ridge with no view, at least not in this fog. And yet it was a legendary beautiful day. Almost alone on a very well-known ridge, chatting away the hours with a friend and enjoying the fresh air and steep slopes in the wonderful mountain world. Simply wonderful. And of course a reason to come back.
Thank you

Luckily a friend wanted to come along on a tour 🤩 So I spontaneously took the day off, suggested a tour and off we went! My absolute highlight of hikes is the Augstmatthorn❤️ The incredible view of Lake Brienz, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and of course the ibex colony on the Augstmatthorn. Spent a wonderful day with great weather and …

Definitely a nice tour in the summer. I'm just glad I survived. Snowfields on steep slopes are a real challenge. It's also very slippery and muddy.

In the first section, it's oppsi. 🙂 But it's a nice way and mostly shady in the forest. From the second piece on a ridge right Augstmatthorn is very nice. D'Ussicht anyway! The last part after Harderkulm is very muddy and not so great. 😉
