Brienz | Ultimate Guide to Riding the Century-Old Steam Train 🚂

On our last day in Interlaken, we visited Brienz and finally boarded that iconic steam train we'd seen so many times online. As the melody "Wind Across the Wilderness, Slow Down" played in our minds, we realized even 20 km/h felt too fast for scenery this breathtaking. 🎫 Ticketing Guide Booking: shop.brienz-rothorn-bahn.ch Cost: 96 CHF base fare + 8 CHF seat reservation (Book at least 2 days ahead!) 📍 Boarding Location Right outside Brienz train station – impossible to miss! 📷 Best Photo Spots Arrive 30 mins early to queue for ideal seats The train has 4 carriages; the 2nd carriage behind the steam engine offers perfect smoke/steam shots Pro tip: Sit on the door side for unobstructed views 🌄 Journey Highlights Pass through enchanted forests and alpine meadows Summit views over Lake Brienz and snow-capped peaks (on clear days) Worth every franc – we'd do it again in a heartbeat! #SwissTravel #Brienz #SteamTrainAdventure #SwitzerlandDiaries
