The highest mountain in Lucerne - the Brienzer Rothorn - has always moved its mountaineers. The Rothorn photo trail creates even more moving moments. On the circular trail, six photo posts offer unique opportunities to take moving pictures. Physical movement is also guaranteed on the mountain hiking trail!
Opening times
The Rothorn photo trail is open daily during the summer season on the Brienzer Rothorn of Bergbahnen Sörenberg AG. Further information can be found here.
Prices
The photo trail is free of charge. The Sörenberg - Brienzer Rothorn aerial cableway takes you comfortably to the start and starting point of the photo trail. For the way back from the Eisee to the Brienzer Rothorn, we recommend the Eisee chairlift; you can buy the pedestrian ticket in the online store or at the valley station of the cable car.

The photo kit for CHF 19.50 contains the right gadget for every photo post. Use them to take even more exciting, creative and varied photos. You will also find challenging challenges and instructive photo tips for each photo post in a small accompanying booklet. The photo kit can also be purchased in the online store. You will receive the photo kit at the valley station with your order confirmation.

All posts can basically be done with a modern smartphone. However, a photo camera offers many more options and you can switch from automatic mode to manual mode.
