Switzerland Itinerary 3: Epic Alpine Views and Scenic Magic near Sigriswil

Epic Alpine Views and Insta-Magic near Sigriswil 📸⛰️✨ Welcome to the heart of the Bernese Oberland! Sigriswil’s Niederhorn reveals Switzerland’s wild side—spectacular peaks, glassy Lake Thun, and iconic lookout points perfect for your camera roll. Start your morning by catching the funicular or aerial cableway up to Niederhorn (Address: 3658 Sigriswil, open Mon–Thurs/Sun 8:00–18:00, Fri–Sat 8:00–22:00—tip: early birds beat the crowds and get the best light for photos!). Head straight for the Niederhorn Aussichtsplattform (Niederhorn 1015, 3658 Sigriswil) to soak in panoramic views—clouds drift below and mountains gleam above in every direction. Don’t miss the Niederhorn Aussichtspunkt (3803 Beatenberg): it’s a short walk from the main platform and offers an even wider sweep of valleys and peaks. For that iconic "Grand Tour of Switzerland Fotopoint" (Niederhorn, 3803 Beatenberg), snap your signature Swiss photo—morning is best, with crisp skies and fewer photobombers! Must-dos: - Hike one of the gentle ridge trails—take turns pausing at Grönbach (Sigriswil) for peaceful brookside moments. - Watch for ibex and marmots along the way; they’re surprisingly photogenic if you’re patient! - Pack layers—the mountain weather flips fast, and winds pick up on exposed platforms. Practical tips: - Restrooms and food kiosks are available at the summit (but pricey, so bring a snack and water). - Pathways are generally well-marked, but can get slippery after rain—good walking shoes make a big difference. #sigriswil #niederhorn #berneseoberland #switzerlandviews #swissalps

#tripaway St Beautus hidden treasure Beautiful caves in breathtaking scenery The cave system is very impressive and beautiful. There are plenty of hand rails but good non slip shoes should be worn. It can get cold inside but we were comfortable with a light top and jeans. The walk down to the bus stop was very steep but again just take your time and use the hand rails. There are plenty of seats to sit on along the way. We enjoyed our trip to the Caves and all slept very well that evening. #tripaway
