The highest peak in Lucerne – the Brienzer Rothorn – has moved its hikers since time immemorial. The Fototrail Rothorn creates even more moving moments. On the circular route, six photo stations offer unique motifs to create moving pictures. Physical activity is also guaranteed on the mountain hiking trail!
Opening hours
The Fototrail Rothorn is open daily during the summer season on the Brienzer Rothorn of Bergbahnen Sörenberg AG. More information can be found here.
Prices
The Fototrail is free of charge. You can reach the start and end point of the Fototrail comfortably with the Sörenberg - Brienzer Rothorn aerial cableway. For the way from Eisee back to Brienzer Rothorn, we recommend the Eisee chairlift; the pedestrian ticket can be purchased in the online shop or at the valley station of the aerial cableway.
Offers
The photo kit for CHF 19.50 contains the matching gadget for each photo station. Use these to achieve even more exciting, creative, and diverse photos. Additionally, you will find challenging photo challenges and instructive photography tips for each photo station in an accompanying small booklet. The photo kit can also be purchased in the online shop. You will receive the photo kit at the valley station with the order confirmation.
Equipment
All stations can basically be done with a current smartphone. However, a camera offers many more possibilities and allows you to switch from automatic to manual mode.
Also discover our winter Fototrail, where five staged photo stations await you on the winter hiking circular route Rossweid-Schwarzenegg in the magical winter wonderland!
