Tripadvisorβs approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Valentine dinner at the top of the mountain - why not? We booked the valentine dinner to make this event unforgettable but it ended up in a full disappointment.
As for a valentine dinner you could certainly be expecting something special bud these guys, with all due respect, didn't show any creativity in their set up. No ambience, poor food quality and worst of all was the vine - it had cork and sadly wise there was no replacement to be considered, that made it better as for the wine. Well - what more could you expect? Definitely more for the price of CHF 79.00 per person. Drinks were charged (water, wine and coffee etc.) additionally .
This was a full night mare and we were supper unhappy about everything that night. We reported this issue the day after and got little understanding by the management (executive Director) of the Stockhornbergbahnen AG. We asked for a refund but didnβt get any positive reaction, which is completely inacceptable after all this bad experience we had with them. This made our Valentine dinner unforgettable, indeed. For anyone considering spending their time and money up there, we strongly recommend not to expect too much from their services. What so ever, Good luck. Caring is sharing volks.

What can be better than standing on the top of the beautiful Alps and admire the perfect view? Nothing.
Well, Stockhorn is a good place for those who adore hiking, mountain lakes and don't love crowdy places. It seems this place is not really popular as I didn't see there thousands of tourists like on other tops that I visited in Switzerland. And this is what I liked.

Love stockhorm. Have been several times. Will arrive by train then catch cable car to top. Walk up to higher level. All flora is labeled. Have picnic or lunch in resturant then walk back down to half way point where there is a lake. You need good footware as first piece of walk loose stones.after that wide pathway through wood.
At lake you can catch cablecar back down. I normaly stop for a drink first at 2nd resturant then go down.
If you dont want to walk down you can catch cable car and get out half way.
When you arrive at roadside dont rush back to train have a walk through village. It is very old and some pretty houses. Look out for the balcony overhanging the road. Also river running along houses.

We visited the Stockhorn mountain in May with kids and took cable car all the way up. The place accepts Junior Karte and 1/2 fair cards, so entire trip was affordable as well. We had lunch on the top, the restaurant is very busy during lunch time, but good good at the end. Staff is trying their best with so many visitors. There is plenty of place to site inside or outside and on roof top. The trip to the panorama bridge is very good, the tunnel is a bit 1 min cold walk. Views are amazing all around. We hiked all the way down to the hinterstockensee, it's almost 80 min hike with kids. Amazing views all the way. Walt around lake is amazing. Seems to be a popular pace for fishing too. There is a play area and WC near lake too. Highly recommend and must see.

We took the train from Spiez to the nearest stop, thereupon it was a 15 minute walk through the town to the cable car base station.
Apart from a few other visitors, the cable car was almost empty to the middle station, and also the second cable car to the top station. Great views were afforded in the cars.
I don't know what other times of the year, but middle of summer and this mountain was almost deserted, just a handful of people at the summit restaurant.
We walked through the tunnel to see the views of Lake Thun, and also walked to the summit for great views all around the area.
We decided to walk to the middle station, and apart from 1 other family we met along the way, we had the track and slopes to ourselves (and the cows).
It made a change being in a nice location but away from the crowds and worth a visit.

Stockhorn is a spectacular mountain peak near Thun/Interlaken. You can reach it by hiking or by cable car from Erlenbach. First cable car takes you to the Hinterstockensee lake. From here you take another one (smaller) to the top. The price for a return tiket is 58 CHF for adults. There are discounts for halfcard, season tickets, AG holders, children.
You have plenty hiking options and the views from the top are amazing. You can see the 2 small lakes (Hinterstockensee and Oberstockensee) as well as Thun lake and the mountains nearby.
There is a restaurant at the top and several viewing platforms.

One of the few mountains I had not been up in the Interlaken area. Not disappointed. Reached via 2 cable cars, the views from the top are breath taking. One side you look down Lake Thun towards Interlaken & the mountains around the Jungfrau, the other towards Thun & Bern. Besides walking up/down, there is also the chance to bungee jump from a cable car!

I couldn't have asked for a better first Bungee Jump experience. Entire team,guides,instructors at Stockhorn Interlaken were extremely professional. They clearly love their job and this was shown from the moment they arrived to pick me at Interlaken OST train station in their Mercedes van.
To the jump - I jumped on the 12th June afternoon and the experience was incredible! To be honest i was little scared before the jump( specially when i had been seeing other group mates jumping in front of me for 45 minutes & I was in queue waiting for my turn".) .My instructor told me that i jumped perfectly during demo jump so i need not to worry. Before jump,she also advised me to TURN OFF my mind for couple of minutes and just live the moment. I exactly did the same and it turned out to be an amazing life time experience. I didn't feel even a small discomfort to my body. Now my fear for Bungee Jumping has gone and i want to jump again from the tallest building of world. Research says that "adventure activities" are more about dealing with mental stress than physical stress" & from my experience i can say that "it is absolutely true"!
1 Important learning which Bungee Jumping has taught me- Sometimes in life our biggest weaknesses is that we have a tendency to think too much and over analyze things before we make a decision. What I learnt from bungee jumping, is that the longer you wait to take the leap, the more time you have to make excuses and convince yourself to back out. Sometimes in life you just have to take that leap of faith. Close your eyes, jump and everything will work out.
If you're having second thoughts about doing it, just do it! It's a memory I will have for the rest of my life.
10/10 experience and would 100% recommend Bungee with Stackhorn Interlaken team

We took a cable car up Stockhorn at 9.20 as we had reserved the breakfast buffet in the restaurant at the summit. There was plenty of choice, with cereals, different breads, croissants, cheeses, cold meats, preserves, yoghurts etc. There was rosti and scrambled egg available as a cooked option and plenty of fruit juices, tea and coffee. We thought the cost of CHF20 was reasonable, considering the high price of everything in Switzerland, and the breakfast with stunning views as an accompaniment was just what we hoped for. I would definitely recommend the breakfast. We then walked up to the summit for 360 degree views.
We left the cable car half-way down the mountain at the mid station and walked round the lake. A lovely way to burn off some of the calories! The walk was only a little steep at the beginning and end. We then had drinks at the restaurant there, again drinking in the stunning views.
The cable car isn't cheap, but we had the Bernese Oberland travel pass and so we had free access to all the trains, lake steamers and cable cars. This was an excellent decision to buy as it saved us a lot of money over the 10 days.

I'm planning a hike from Oberstocken to Stockhorn. Should I calculate with extra costs like admission fee to the viewpoint?
Written 19 July 2022
Is there a bus from the nearest railway station to the base of the Stockhorn? I have a temporary foot problem and I am not sure if I can walk for 15mins.
Written 25 July 2017
The main Erlenbach station is 900m from the cable car station, haven't seen a bus but will look out tomorrow as we're staying just down the road.
