What awaits you on the Niederhorn
The Niederhorn cable car takes you on an adventure with a view: in around 30 minutes, the combination of funicular and cable car takes you from Beatenbucht via Beatenberg up to the Niederhorn (1963 metres above sea level), Beatenberg's striking local mountain.
Once you reach the top, the panorama is magnificent: views over Lake Thun, the Bernese Alps with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and, on a clear day, over the Aare valley and as far as the Jura. Walking paths, viewing platforms, nature and tranquillity make a stay at the top an inspiring and unifying experience.
That's what makes this supporting programme so special:
- A comfortable journey combined with a panoramic experience
- Natural idyll, vastness and tranquillity at 1963 m
- Views over the mountains, lake and valley
- Varied use at the top: Views, short walks, catering
- Can be experienced all year round, even in changeable weather conditions
This experience is ideal for slowing down after a meeting, creating space for dialogue or simply experiencing something special together.
Why and how it suits the business event
The Niederhorn offers space, tranquillity and clear perspectives. As a supporting programme, it creates distance from the seminar room and opens the mind to new ideas. The easily plannable course times and clear procedures make integration simple and reliable, possible all year round and adapted to the weather.
Particularly suitable for:
- Corporate and team events with a focus on inspiration
- Programme items between meetings or workshops
- Customer events with a connection to nature
- Groups with little time and a desire for a strong experience
- Participants who want to enjoy the view and nature without any sporting demands
Whether a short change of perspective or a half-day excursion, the Niederhorn can be flexibly integrated into your event programme.
