description: "This scenic mountain hike starts at the valley station of the Brienzer Rothorn aerial cableway in Sörenberg. From there, the path initially leads towards Schönbüel, an idyllic high plateau with gentle alpine pastures, magnificent panoramas, and a typical pre-alpine landscape. Already here, impressive views open up to the surrounding peaks of the Bernese Alps. The ascent continues over well-developed mountain paths and becomes increasingly steeper over the open slopes of the Rothorn. With every step, the panorama widens – along the way, there are many opportunities to pause and marvel. Particularly impressive is the view back into the valley and over the Entlebuch region. After the final ascent, you reach the summit of the Brienzer Rothorn (2,350 m a.s.l.). The view is spectacular: from here the gaze extends over the panoramic Bernese Oberland, Lake Brienz, and, in good visibility, to the Valais and Central Swiss Alps. The return can be done either on foot via the same route or comfortably by cable car to the valley."

Already here, impressive views open up to the surrounding peaks of the Bernese Alps.

The ascent continues over well-developed mountain paths and becomes increasingly steeper over the open slopes of the Rothorn. With every step, the panorama widens – along the way, there are many opportunities to pause and marvel. Particularly impressive is the view back into the valley and over the Entlebuch region.
