After an eventful summer season, the Brienz Rothorn Railway is taking its winter break. During this time, our steam locomotives and carriages will receive a well-deserved overhaul - so that they can be on the move again reliably and safely for you next year.
A big thank you to all our guests who visited and accompanied us in the 2025 season.
We look forward to welcoming you back on board from Saturday, May 9, 2026 - with trips to the Planalp middle station, and then again to Rothorn Kulm from Saturday, June 6, 2026.
Our parking deck is equipped with several charging stations for electric vehicles so that you can charge your vehicle conveniently during your visit to Brienz Rothorn Railway . Our modern charging stations are available around the clock and are located at Trachtlistrasse 2 in Brienz (5 minutes' walk from the valley station).
Steinli's Discovery
Accompany the young ibex "Steinli" on an exciting journey to the Brienzer Rothorn. In this enchanting book, children experience exciting adventures with "Steinli" and learn interesting facts about the impressive flora and fauna of our region in a playful way. The book is designed with children in mind, with loving illustrations by Brienz sculptor Markus Flück and written in easy-to-understand language by author Corinne Schmidhauser. The book is available in German.
