Winter hiking
Niederhorn winter wonderland for hiking
Crunchy snow under your feet, snow covers glistening in the sunlight, a velvety stillness surrounds us, blessing us with peace and tranquility – Welcome to the Niederhorn winter wonderland!
Even in winter, the hiking trail on the Niederhorn in the direction of Burgfeld is one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Switzerland. Where there are otherwise green Alpine meadows, a well-prepared winter hiking trail leads through the snow-covered mountain landscape. Mountain restaurants, a pub and a snow bar in a most delightful location, and a ski lodge that exudes coziness await you. Stroll along at your leisure or take brisk, sporty strides through the magic of the winter.

On the winter hiking trail Niederhorn – Waldegg and Vorsass – Bodenalp – Beatenberg Station there are always sections that can be sledged. The hiking time of the winter hiking trail Niederhorn – Waldegg is thus reduced by approx. 1 hour.
The sledges can be returned comfortably in Waldegg from Friday to Tuesday at the Hotel Fassbind-Beausite and on Wednesday and Thursday at the Alphotel Eiger. Exception: From 22 to 27 December 2023 and 3 to 4 January 2024 the return takes place at the Restaurant Regina or Alphotel Eiger.
The deposit will be returned to the respective hotel and the Niederhornbahn will collect the sledges for you. The “Waldegg” post bus stop is near both hotels. From there you can take the 101 bus in the direction of Interlaken or to the Beatenberg railway station.
