For storytellers

Why Harder Kulm matters

A short funicular ride takes you from town to the Harder Kulm, where a platform called the Two Lakes Bridge hangs over the edge. The views stretch across Lake Thun and Lake Brienz to the Jungfrau massif. It's an easy half-day trip with a terrific payoff.

Talking points

  • The funicular leaves from near the town centre.
  • The platform gives a view over both lakes.
  • Great at sunset.
