Harderbahn

The Harderbahn is one of two funiculars that operate from the town of Interlaken to the mountain of Harder Kulm, in Switzerland. This funicular, the longer of the two, runs from a base station (altitude 567m above sea level) to a station near the summit of the Harder Kulm (altitude 1321.31m), Interlaken’s own mountain. From the Harder Kulm station, a five minute walk takes one to the Harder Restaurant, a distinctive pagoda structure with spectacular views from its terrace, over the town, the Lakes of Thun and Brienz, the Lütschine valleys and the summits of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Clear weather is critical to get a good view.
