From there begins an exciting and varied hike past steep rocks, rugged ridges, scree slopes, and rock-strewn alpine pastures. After the ascent from Rossweid to Lättgässli, it continues along the spectacular ridge hike to the summit of Brienzer Rothorn, where a delightful 360° panorama opens up. Deep down in the valley lies the turquoise blue Lake Brienz, and the nostalgically whistling steam train climbs the mountain from the Bern side. In the background rises the massive, rocky chain of the snow-covered Swiss Alps. Refresh yourself at the summit restaurant Rothorn, from where the Brienzer Rothorn cable car takes you back down to the valley.
