Nachricht von Seraina Zellweger

The Niesen, often called the “Swiss Pyramid” due to its striking triangular shape, is a must-visit mountain in the Bernese Oberland. Standing at 2,362 meters, it offers panoramic views of the Alps, Lake Thun, and the surrounding valleys, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers.

The easiest way to reach the summit is by taking the Niesenbahn funicular, one of the steepest in Europe. The ride, which begins in Mülenen, is an experience in itself, offering stunning views as you ascend through lush forests and alpine meadows. At the top, you’ll find a cozy restaurant with a terrace, perfect for enjoying a meal while taking in the breathtaking scenery.

For hiking enthusiasts, several trails lead to the summit. The Niesen Trail is a challenging yet rewarding route that takes about 4-5 hours from the valley to the top. For those seeking an easier option, there are shorter trails around the summit that still provide incredible views.

The Niesen is also home to the annual Niesenlauf, a grueling race up the 11,674 steps of the funicular track, attracting athletes from around the world.

Seraina’s Tip: For an unforgettable experience, visit the Niesen during sunrise or sunset when the light creates magical views over the Alps and valleys. If you’re planning to hike, consider taking the funicular up and walking down to enjoy the scenery at your own pace.
