Niederhorn

Rising to 1,963 meters, Niederhorn is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking stunning views of Lake Thun and the Bernese Alps. The mountain is accessible via a cable car from Beatenberg, which glides over forests and meadows. Once at the top, visitors can explore a network of hiking trails ranging from easy walks to more challenging routes. The summit provides a launch point for paragliders, who soar over the lake and peaks. In winter, the area transforms into a snowshoeing and sledding paradise. The summit restaurant offers local dishes and a sun terrace. The experience is about connecting with nature and enjoying the fresh mountain air, with the sound of cowbells echoing from nearby pastures.
