This hike offers impressive nature experiences with spectacular views of the surrounding mountain peaks and the turquoise-blue Lake Brienz.

The hike starts in Sörenberg and initially leads along well-marked paths through gentle meadows and sparse forests. The ascent to Berghaus Schönbüel is leisurely at first, but you still have to cover a good 800 meters in altitude before reaching Berghaus Schönbüel. However, you are always rewarded with fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding Alps. Once you reach Schönbüel, the Berghaus invites you to take a leisurely break and enjoy the magnificent views of the mountains and valleys.

From Schönbüel, the paths lead you through flower-filled meadows up to the summit of the Brienzer Rothorn. The path is easy to follow, but requires a good level of fitness. On the way to the summit, you are treated to a breathtaking panoramic view of the Bernese Alps, Lake Brienz and, on a clear day, the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

After a well-earned rest on the Rothorn, you can take the cable car back to Sörenberg, where your hike began. This tour combines natural beauty, sporting activity and a relaxing finish - perfect for an unforgettable mountain tour in the region.
