The Brienzersee viewpoints between Harderkulm and Rothorn
13.56 mi
+6,942 ft
-3,986 ft
8 hrs
Very difficult
Departure from Unterseen (Canton of Bern)
This hike follows the ridge path along the northern shore of Lake Brienz for its entire length, from Harderkulm hill to the summit of the Brienzer Rothorn. The route offers panoramic views almost throughout, and is relatively quiet except at the start and finish (accessible by funicular). There are several slightly vertiginous sections, but no real technical difficulty. The main challenge is the cumulative elevation gain, which ends up being considerable, as the jagged ridge involves many successive ascents and descents, often steep.
