Insider tips
Sehenswürdigkeiten
The Niederhorn - high above Lake Thun - with views onto the Justistal on one side and the panorama of the alps and the Thun lake on the other side.
The view of the lake is best when you hike from the station past the Berghaus along the ridge upwards. This short detour takes 5 minutes and is worth it as it offers splendid views of the lake from Spiez all the way to Thun, which is not possible anymore further on.
How to get there:
By bus from Thun to Beatenbucht.
From Beatenbucht you take the funicular to Beatenberg and from there by cable car to Niederhorn.
There is the option to buy a hiking ticket (1 section without transportation).
My recommendation: Travel at least one way Thun-Beatenbucht-Thun by boat - and if its possible take the old wonderful steam boat "Blüemlisalp".
Nice hiking trails - see the details on the pictures :)

Stunning hiking trail to Lobhornhütte with an amazing view on the majestic Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau!
Sulwald to Lobhornhütte is a 1.5 hours hike up (the way down it takes around 45 to 60 min). This hiking trail is comparably steep, most of the part through forest and over and over again you can catch the view over the majestic mountains Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
How to get there:
From Thun to Lauterbrunnen by train.
Lauterbrunnen to Isenfluh by postal bus (check the timetable before - sometimes there is no bus between 2 hours!)
Isenfluh to Sulwald by cable car (it is an experience it self). The small and historical cable car has been running since 1975 and can transport eight people or one cow. This little cable car is very special and is closely linked to life in the village.
Isenfluh:
The small, unspoilt mountain village is beautifully situated above Lauterbrunnen. From here the panorama of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau is enchanting.
The village is fare from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist attractions and has its own special charm. Here you will discover untouched, natural surroundings with unusual geological formations. Isenfluh is at 1081m and Sulwald, which you can reach by cable car is at 1530m.
Lobhornhütte - take a break and enjoy the beautiful view!
