Summer 2025

It's going all the way to the top again!

Since June 7, the Brienz Rothorn Railway has been running all the way up to Rothorn Kulm again – with breathtaking views over more than 600 mountain peaks!

Experience the most beautiful steam cogwheel train ride in Switzerland and be enchanted by the nostalgic ride and the impressive natural surroundings.

Tip: Our Berghaus Rothorn Kulm is also open again – perfect for a break with a panoramic view!

The association Steam friends Brienz Rothorn Railway is committed to ensuring that the wonderful steam operation remains so despite the many adversities and the requirements of today’s railway regulations. The railway should be preserved, maintained and the relic of times long past should flourish. It is important to the patrons’ association that the original steam operation with its beautiful locomotives does not disappear into a museum, but can be shown in daily use in summer.
