What awaits you on the Stockhorn
The journey on the Stockhorn cable car is already part of the experience. The aerial cableway takes you from Erlenbach im Simmental up to the striking summit of the Stockhorn in just 20 minutes.
The journey takes place in two stages: Firstly in modern panoramic cabins to the Chrindi middle station, then in the characteristic red gondolas over the Hinterstockensee lake to the mountain station. Once at the top, an impressive panoramic view opens up over the town of Thun, Lake Thun, the Central Plateau and as far as the Jura.
That's what makes this supporting programme so special:
- Short, impressive journey by train
- Magnificent panorama and clear mountain air
- Experience nature without physical exertion
- A wide range of options at the summit
- Can be combined with catering and accommodation
The Stockhorn has a decelerating, inspiring effect and will be remembered for a long time.
