Travel with this ticket to the highest summit in the canton of Lucerne: the Brienzer Rothorn. Or take a trip to the Planalp. You will be transported in a carriage with large panoramic windows by a historic steam engine up the mountain. The journey takes you through deep green forests and past typical Swiss pastures with cows. At the top of the Brienzer Rothorn, you will be greeted with breathtaking views of over 690 mountain peaks and the sparkling Brienz Lake.
Please note that during times of high visitor numbers or if a steam locomotive experiences technical issues, diesel engines may be used for passenger service. However, this is an exception. In case this happens, ticket refunds are not possible.
