The funicular railway, which is more than 100 years old, transports you to the Harder Kulm at 1322 metres above sea level in less than 10 minutes. The ride to the summit station is steep, and throughout the journey and from the top of mountains you will have magnificent views to Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau as well as Lakes Brienz and Lake Thun.
We did this during evening after a morning trip to Jungfraujoch. It was really relaxing to spend the evening at this location, looking at the majestic mountains and lakes that surround Interlaken.
