Product Info

— What to Expect —

Step back in time with a nostalgic ride on the historic Schynige Platte rack railway. Departing from the charming village of Wilderswil, near Interlaken, this classic cogwheel train has been carrying passengers up the mountain since 1893. The 50-minute climb winds past dense pine forests, green alpine pastures, and steep rock faces, offering an authentic taste of early Swiss rail engineering.

As the train ascends over 1,400 meters in altitude, you will be treated to sweeping views of the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. The route also showcases magnificent vistas looking down onto the crystal-clear waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. Arriving at the summit station at 1,967 meters above sea level, you step directly into a classic high-alpine paradise.

At the summit, visitors can stroll through the famous Alpine Botanical Garden, featuring hundreds of wild plant species, or set off along well-marked panoramic hiking trails. Kids can enjoy interactive outdoor playgrounds, while adults relax on the sun terrace listening to traditional alphorn players. Secure your round-trip rail ticket to experience one of the most scenic vintage train rides in the Bernese Oberland.
