Harderkulm, Interlaken

We went on the first ascent at 9:10am, and the sun was bright in the sky. It was a beautiful day, and surprisingly hot on the mountain in the middle of November. It was colder in Interlaken than up here. There were few people here this early so I recommend going on the first funicular up. It started getting crowded around 10. I wish there were more funiculars going because we had to wait for 30 minutes before we could go back down. There are several hiking trails but they looked strenuous.

MUST visit place if in Interlaken or even passing by. We loved it. The train ride goes up about 1.2KM and was fun. Ensure you get visitor card from Hotel which will save you 10 Swiss Frank per person. The view from up Top is gorgeous. You can see both lakes Thun n Brienze. Highly recommend this place for the whole family.

Great place to visit while in interlakken. It is about 1300 meters above and takes 5 minutes with a cable car - nice trip. Wait times between cars is about 10 minutes though total wait depends upon the crowds. The view is superb and breath taking. The restaurant is a good place to eat / drink and an experience in itself. We tried fondue though seriously overpriced...came with hard bread and 3 potatoes foe about 60 chf - a popular dish, that is not worth it.

This is a fantastic viewpoint for those who want to see Interlaken and the two lakes (Lake Thun and Lake Brienz) from above. The ticket to the Harder Kulm bahn is cheap, and it's a short ride to the top. It's normally quite crowded because it's a popular tourist attraction. However, it was quite empty when we went there in June 2021 because of COVID-19. We basically had the whole place to ourselves.

The best view of the Interlaken. You may buy the ticket with lunch option because it worth for 7 more. Take lots of interesting photos from the platform and enjoy a short hiking over the Interlaken mountains. Totally recommended despite its a bit expensive...
