The romance of steam railways: the only steam coghweel of Switzerland

he nostalgic steam railway adventure in the Berner Oberland
The Brienz Rothorn Line has been hissing, huffing and puffing its way from the Berner Oberland village of Brienz to the Brienzer Rothorn since 1892. It is the only steam-powered cogwheel railway system with three generations of steam locomotives to provide daily steam-train services during the entire sumer season. The Brienz Rothorn Line was never electrify.

The steam train covers the 1678- metre hight difference regularly, reliably and without ever getting out of puff!

The nostalgic steam cogwheel railway starts at 566 metres above sea level and takes just one hour to push powerfully up to the Brienzer Rothorn. The 7.6-kilometre ride first passes through romantic meadows and forest, cuts through high rock faces and finally travels over gently sloping then steep Alpine pastures on its way to the rugged summit.

Your reward is the fantastic view at the summit of the Brienzer Rothorn
The views which await you at the 2350 metre-high summit are quite simply breathtaking. Your gaze sweeps over a stunning panorama: from the Alps of Cetral Switzerland with Pilatus, Rigi and Titlis to the mighty 4000-metre summits of the Berner Alps with the Eiger, Möchn & Jungfrau and as far as the Chasseral in the Jura mountains.
