About Brienzer Rothorn

Brienzer Rothorn
 

Brienzer Rothorn stands as one of the most iconic peaks in the Swiss Alps, reaching an elevation of 2,350 meters. It is part of the Emmental Alps in the Canton of Bern and provides awe-inspiring panoramic views that include Lake Brienz and several other Alpine peaks. The mountain is historically important for its traditional alpine cheese-making, and ecologically, it supports a variety of alpine flora and fauna. Outdoor enthusiasts flock here for the hiking trails and the unique experience of accessing the summit via the Brienz Rothorn Railway, one of the few steam cogwheel railways in Switzerland. The summit offers ample opportunities for photography, with dramatic vistas across the deep valleys and rugged mountain terrain. Visitors are also drawn to the area for bird watching, as the rugged cliffs provide habitats for various bird species.
