What to expect

Experience the nostalgia of the Belle Epoque era with a ride on the historic cogwheel train to Schynige Platte, a natural balcony that offers breathtaking views of the Bernese Alps. The 50-minute ride itself is an attraction, as the narrow gauge train winds its way up the mountain, offering unparalleled views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, as well as Lake Thun, Niesen, Stockhorn, and Jura. The train is reminiscent of a bygone era, with wooden benches and conductors in period uniforms. Upon arrival, soak in unforgettable views of the Jungfrau region, and if you walk a little further, you'll be treated to panoramic vistas of Lake Brienz and Lake Thun as well. Hop aboard the cogwheel train and prepare to be transported back in time while surrounded by the natural beauty of the Swiss Alps.

Review for: Schynige Platte Ticket: Roundtrip from Wilderswil

This ticket is really convenient - we could just use the QR code by klook to enter without redeeming a physical ticket. This place is beautiful. The hike to daube viewpoint is rocky and steep but generally manageable and you can take it slow. it is recommended to go clockwise after you alight from the train aka walk in the opposite direction of the train toward the start point. It would generally be an easier hike up!

Review for: Return Ticket from Wilderswil to Schynige Platte

nice trip although the train is quite full that we cannot sit together. And it is a pretty that it was too foggy on the mountain than we cannot see the mountains. remember checking weather before you buy and do not purchase too early.

The person checking tickets for the train from Wilderswil to Schynige Platte said it was the first time he had seen the ticket and that he couldn't confirm it, so I couldn't use the ticket and wasted money^^
