The Stockhorn, standing at 2,190 meters, is a spectacular mountain in the Bernese Oberland, offering breathtaking views, scenic hikes, and outdoor activities year-round. Easily accessible via cable car from Erlenbach im Simmental, Stockhorn is a fantastic destination for nature lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers alike.

The Stockhornbahn takes visitors from Erlenbach up to the middle station, Chrindi, where you’ll find the picturesque Hinterstocken and Oberstocken Lakes, perfect for a short hike or a relaxing picnic by the water. From there, the second cable car section ascends to the Stockhorn summit, where a panoramic platform offers stunning 360-degree views over the Swiss Plateau, Lake Thun, the Bernese Alps, and even as far as the Jura and the Black Forest on clear days.

For hikers, Stockhorn offers trails for all levels, from easy lake walks to challenging ridge hikes. A popular option is the trail from the summit back down to Chrindi, which winds through rocky landscapes, alpine meadows, and viewpoints.

If you're seeking an adrenaline rush, bungee jumping from the Stockhorn cable car is a seriously thrilling experience.

In winter, Stockhorn transforms into a snowy paradise, offering snowshoe trails, winter hikes, and even ice fishing on the frozen lake at Chrindi.

Seraina’s Tip: Visit the glass-floored panorama platform at the summit for one of the most spectacular views in the region.
