Impressive train ride experience on the Schynige Platte - Perfect autumn hiking weather in the mountains means escaping the high fog in the midlands. The train ride from Wilderswil to the Schynige Platte through the mist into the sun is a great experience and the view of the Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau and many other mountain peaks was impressive.

Historic cog railways - It takes 52 minutes to travel with the historic cog railway. The view in fine weather is fantastic. ⛰️🌞🚂 For birthday children, the ride is on their day of honor free of charge and they receive first a sweet surprise im Bergrestaurant. 🧁

Family treasure hunt - We have done this trip before and the views are amazing. I would like to complement the compilers of the treasure hunt. Our 10 and 8 granddaughters loved it and were further entertained by the puzzles on the way down. This free trail gave them much more satisfaction than expensive thrill rides on other peaks.

Great day trip - We made a very nice circular hike, but bought sunscreen before because we forgot at home. Over a beer, review everything.

Recommended, but communication between SBB and Jungfraubahnen did not work. - A ride up the Schynige Platte with the historic cars is great. The view becomes more fantastic the higher the track "climbs". A ride takes 50 minutes. Enjoy these, because I can't understand the people who sleep during such a trip.;-) The only negative: the day before our trip was storm and the timetable was limited. The limited timetable was also valid on our sunny, windless following day. Only, the SBB app did not turn on these restrictions. We had to wait for the next connection in Wilderswil for over an hour. On request to the SBB, we were informed that this was due to the Jungfrau Railways, because they had not communicated the information to the SBB. Communication between the two Enterprises has room for improvement.

A day as beautiful as today... - It was just a super great day! From online ticket purchases to information about available parking spaces, rail travel to catering is a hit. Almost everywhere very friendly people who made the day a great experience. Added to that, we moved in an absolutely fantastic autumn day...
