Harder Kulm Trails

Known as Interlaken’s “Top of Europe,” Harder Kulm is reached in just ten minutes by funicular, yet it feels worlds away with its sweeping views of Lake Thun, Lake Brienz, and the snowcapped trio of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

From the summit, a network of trails offers something for everyone. Families often opt for the gentle, well-marked paths of the Family Trail, where playful installations keep younger hikers engaged while parents enjoy the outlooks.

Couples and solo travelers may prefer the longer ridge hikes, where the paths climb higher into quiet stretches of forest and open meadows before circling back to the panorama platform. More adventurous routes extend further, linking Harder Kulm with nearby peaks and valleys, rewarding with solitude and even bigger vistas. With difficulty levels ranging from easy strolls to more moderate outings, the area invites you to choose your own adventure—whether it’s a short scenic loop, a relaxed afternoon with kids or a romantic walk with the lakes glittering far below.
