Highlights
Families
Stockhorn station, as well as the summit, are wheelchair accessible, with lifts at all stations. Stockhorn is also very family friendly with great facilities such as playgrounds at both the middle station of Chrindi and at the summit. There are also rest stops and barbecue areas located at regular intervals all round the lakes. This gives you the opportunity to relax and maybe even have a family barbecue.
Panorama restaurant
At the top, offering superb views of the alpine peaks from their large sun terrace, is the Panorama Summit Restaurant. It's a fantastic way to relax (and enjoy a well deserved cold drink after walking to the summit...!), soak up the sun and enjoy lunch ranging from classic regional cuisine to gourmet dishes. It's truly a picture postcard alpine landscape.
Stockhorn-Augen
In addition to a restaurant there is a 70m tunnel leading into the rocks to a 'grotto' in the north wall which has viewing windows where you can see Thun, the lakes, the River Aare and Gürbetal, the plateau to the Jura mountains. In the gallery are also crystals from the region. Stockhorn really is a lovely day out for you and your family and offers beautiful views at all times.
