Planalp

Highlight • Viewpoint

Gorgeous alpine meadows. In the summer, flowers bloom everywhere and you can hear the ringing of the cowbells.

Brienzer Rothorn Railway Ride

Highlight • Structure

The journey on the Brienzer Rothornbahn takes around an hour 🚂 The train is operated exclusively by steam locomotives - this makes the journey a very special experience 👌 It is therefore a bit smoky in tunnels 😉 Sitting uphill near the locomotive offers a good view of the locomotive Drive but after a few minutes it gets unbearably loud 😁 Downhill the locomotive snorts much more relaxed and the "jumping / swinging" on the rails as you can watch it uphill cannot be seen.

Berghaus Rothorn Sörenberg

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Grab a deck chair and enjoy the mountain panorama of the Bernese Alps. And with that, Älplermagronen with fried onions – delicious!

Brienzer Rothorn Summit

Highlight • Summit

Magnificent mountain scenery, panoramic views of Central Switzerland or the Bernese Alps and the green-blue Lake Brienz in the valley... also a very beautiful ridge hike, but only recommended for those with surefootedness and a head for heights.

Path Along the Milibach Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

From Alp Greesgi, a nice path leads through meadow slopes down to Planalp. To the east, the Mühlbach or Milibach meanders through a partially narrow rocky valley. This offers wonderful views back up to the mountain range with the Rothorn and down to Lake Brienz and the Alpine chain rising behind it.
