The full story

Inside a former parsonage in Unterseen, the Tourismuseum traces five centuries of travel in the Jungfrau Region. Its exhibits give context to the railways, hotels and viewpoints visitors encounter outside.

The museum explains how visitors, hotels and transport helped turn the Oberland into a travel destination. Its exhibits give context to the funiculars, railways and viewpoints you encounter outside. The old Unterseen setting also makes it a useful cultural stop when clouds obscure the higher scenery.

Alpine Botanical Garden Schynige PlattePlaces

Nature

Alpine Botanical Garden Schynige Platte

Near the Schynige Platte railway terminus, a marked garden trail introduces hundreds of Alpine plant species. The close-up botany gives visitors a different focus from the ridge's sweeping mountain views.

Art Museum Thun occupies the former Thunerhof beside the Aare and presents changing exhibitions. It gives a Thun day an indoor cultural stop beyond the castle and waterfront.

Explore
AxalpPlaces

Nature / Viewpoints

Axalp

Axalp is an upland landscape above Brienz with pastures, mountain views and carved-wood trails. Reaching it takes a deliberate climb from the lake; check road or bus access first.

Explore
BachalpseePlaces

Nature / Viewpoints

Brienzer RothornPlaces

Scenic mountain rides / Nature

Brienzer Rothorn

The steam rack railway climbs from Brienz toward the Rothorn summit, opening broad views over the lake and surrounding ranges. The journey depends on its operating season and mountain weather.

Explore
EigerPlaces

From the Interlaken World

Eiger

The Eiger is the eastern peak of the Eiger–Mönch–Jungfrau skyline. Its vast north face is the landmark to look for from the Kleine Scheidegg area, not an ordinary summit visit.

Explore
FaulhornPlaces

Nature / Viewpoints

Faulhorn

Faulhorn is an exposed high summit on the walking route between Schynige Platte and Grindelwald First. The long ridge approach rewards experienced hikers with broad views over lakes and peaks.
