Open carriages make the trip up & back very scenic too. Not as good viewing as the Schiltorn but still we looked seeing the countryside as well. More

Full of character. Rothorn has wonderful views over the Brienzersee and this steam train is the way to get up and down. More

Despite the hefty price tag of 80chf return, we would do it again. Romantic steam train which slowly huffs and puffs its way up in 1 hour. Suggest 4 hours for the round trip to really soak in the views. If it's not a clear day, don't bother as the views are everything to do up there. More

A different experience in travelling on this train. Once you go up 7700 ft, it is a amazing view of the lake and surrondings. Train leaves on time and reaches the top as shedule. You can take the next train to come back (Hour later) More
