Step aboard the oldest steam cogwheel Spend the night on top of the Brienz Rothorn and experience the mountains like very few people do. Located at 2,266 metres above sea level, this historic hotel is only accessible by the famous Brienz Rothorn steam railway or on foot, making your stay feel like a true alpine adventure from the very beginning.

Once the last train leaves, the mountain becomes incredibly peaceful. Enjoy a traditional Swiss dinner with panoramic views, watch the sunset over the Alps and wake up above the clouds surrounded by breathtaking scenery. It’s an unforgettable experience that goes far beyond simply spending a night in a hotel.

The hotel offers cosy rooms, a mountain restaurant and direct access to several hiking trails starting right from the summit.

💡 Sandra’s Tip

For me, this is the best way to experience the Brienz Rothorn. Stay overnight, wake up early for sunrise and keep an eye out for the wild chamois that are often seen around the summit in the early morning. It’s a magical experience that most day visitors never get to enjoy.
