Schynige Platte is a mountain plateau in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. It is easily accessible by cogwheel train from Interlaken, and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, lakes, and valleys. The plateau is home to a variety of hiking trails, as well as a restaurant, a hotel, and a viewing platform. The hiking trails range from easy to challenging, so there is something for everyone. The views from the viewing platform are simply breathtaking, and you can often see as far as the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. I visited Schynige Platte on a sunny summer day, and it was absolutely magical. The mountains were covered in lush green vegetation, and the lakes were sparkling in the sunlight. I hiked to the viewing platform, and the views were simply breathtaking. I could see for miles in every direction, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. If you are looking for a beautiful and rewarding hike, I highly recommend visiting Schynige Platte. It is a must-see for any nature lover visiting Interlaken. Pros: Stunning views Variety of hiking trails Easy to access by cogwheel train Family-friendly Restaurant and hotel on site Cons: Can be crowded in peak season Some trails can be challenging Overall: Schynige Platte is a truly magical place. The views are incredible, the hiking trails are challenging and rewarding, and the atmosphere is simply unbeatable. If you are looking for a beautiful and unforgettable experience in the Swiss Alps, I highly recommend visiting Schynige Platte. Additional Tips: Visit in the morning or evening to avoid the crowds. Pack a lunch if you are planning on hiking. Wear comfortable shoes that are appropriate for hiking. Take your time and enjoy the scenery.

We took cogwheel train from Wilderswil to Schynige Platte... it costs 64chf per person(without any discounts) for return journey. The train's ride is 50 min long at one side and takes us through breathtaking views of interlaken town along with both the lakes between which interlaken is situated. *Important* -> 1. You may ask for afternoon tickets and they cost 49 chf for return journey. 2. Sit in old style train if you're fond of taking pictures because the windows give unhindered view in the old one.(see picture for reference) 3. There is an option to buy half rate tickets using half rate pass, where you pay 32 chf for return journey(but I'm not sure where/how to buy it). 4. You can convert your Eur to chf at train station's branch of Bank Eki. This way you can save some money than buying ticket in Eur. In summary... you must must must take this ride on a sunny day... it'll be great investment(in experience of a lifetime)

Scenic route easy accessible from Wilderswil by old train. The train goes slowly so you can take the time to admire the mountains, the Interlaken region and lakes around it but also if lucky see cows peacefully eating grass. Once at the end of destination of the train, there is a small snack and coffee bar and public toilets. From here there are a couple of hiking routes, from 1h to 5h, including a route to First mountain. The routes are beginner / medium, well marked and accessible by signs but would recommend proper hiking shoes as they can be rocky. Met hikers with 2-3 dogs even so totally doable. Would allocate a day for this location, especially if you want to go further and come back in the afternoon to the train station.

Easily reached from Interlaken Ost (4 minutes by Train ) or 4 minutes by Bus from Interlaken West; this great scenic train ride takes you to one of the most remarkable locations for stunning views in every direction. Mountains, Lakes, Valleys, Interlaken and the River Aare can be seen from the many walking trails. The Alpine Garden is FREE to walk around and provides lots of photo opportunities for those interested in Flowers and herbs etc. The restaurant with a view is a nice place to stop for lunch or a snack after finishing a hike or just somewhere to relax. For those who enjoy a picnic there is an area for you too. Sturdy walking shoes or boots recommended for hiking trails. A highly recommended trip on a good weather day.

Superb. One of the places where the journey is probably better than the destination. Not to say that the plateau is not good. It does have a lot to offer. There are a lot of trails that you can take, and there are a lot of varieties of flowers to be seen depending on the time of the year you visit. But the journey there is definitely the star of the show. The small trains take you through winding mountain tracks with absolutely stunning views.

Love love schynige Platte, must visit when you are in wilderswil area. Cannot say anything more about it, great view, great trip going up the mountain and great gardens up there. Although went there during a cloudy rainy day, we were surprised by the feeling we got from being up there of mysterious mountain hike - something like that. Didn't get a clear view of the mountains but we got some views. It's cold up there so layered up.
