Start of the 2025 season

We start our season on May 10 – with daily trips to the Planalp middle station.

Look forward to nostalgic steam locomotive romance, spectacular views of Lake Brienz and a unique rail experience in the midst of the spring landscape.

From June 7, the journey continues to Rothorn Kulm!

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.
