Harderbahn – Interlaken Valley Station

Highlight • Rest Area

We were not on the Harder Kulm because the 40, - CHF deterred us for a return trip. With two people 80, - francs, then better run up and down again.

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.
