“The pyramid with many views of Lake Thun
Once you reach the top of the Niesen “pyramid”, you should just relax and enjoy it. The valley station in Mülenen is easily and quickly reached by car or train. After a trip on the nostalgic funicular railway with a maximum incline of 68%, the outlook from the viewing platform, although at 2,362 metres above sea level yet easy to reach, is a fantastic 360° panorama of the imposing Bernese Alps and over the Bernese Central Plateau to the Jura.
The Niesen is also an active adventure mountain with various hiking trails, a popular paragliding take-off point and the ideal training mountain for runners. An interesting information path on the mountain peak gives you lots of exciting information and pictures about the history of the mountain, railway and Berghaus Niesen restaurant.”
