The Giessbach Funicular is a cable railway that takes you from Lake Brienz up to the Grandhotel Giessbach and waterfall viewpoint.

Open: April thru October

Current status: www.giessbach.chwebcam

Timetable

The funicular schedule is coordinated with the boat arrival and departure times. This varies by season, with less frequency in spring and fall.

Check funicular schedule • See Lake Brienz boat schedule.

Tickets

You can buy your tickets on-site. We typically get a one-way ticket, ride up to visit the falls and walk back down to the lake.

Cost 2025: CHF 7 one way, CHF 14 round trip. Kids 6-15 CHF 7 (one way or round trip). Kids under 6 and dogs ride free.

Overnight hotel guests ride for free.

No discount with travel passes or cards.

How to get there

You can ride a boat on Lake Brienz to boats to the Giessbach (See) stop. You can catch the boat at Interlaken Ost (west side of lake) or Brienz village (east side of lake). See BLS boat schedule.
