For merry company events, sustainable team experiences, joint days out and fun school trips

Joint days out, adventure and experience connect people. Sometimes even for a lifetime. Create common ground, experience a little adventure together with the people with whom you work, with whom you spend your leisure time or who are simply close to your heart. The Niederhorn offers countless thrilling, funny, amazing and sustainable options to do so. Test your team spirit by going on the Alpine Orienteering Hike. Thrills await you with a nocturnal sledge ride, or enjoy the solitude and still of the mountains together.

Niederhorn hiking
Various different hikes of various lengths lead through the varied Niederhorn scenery. Hike along the ridge, towards the next peak. Or choose the route downhill, back into the valley. Whatever you do, hiking on the Niederhorn will provide you with countless moments of happiness and unique experiences of nature. Indigenous flowers and plants line the route. And it is not all that rare to observe chamois and ibex close up.
Information

Alpine Orienteering Hike
The Niederhorn Alpine Orienteering Hike rearranges the pecking order. Not the fastest, nor the cleverest, and also not your boss at your job, is the winner. Anyone who is familiar with nature, takes the right strategic decisions, and also demonstrates a bit of resilience, will succeed here! Whether in a team, in small groups, or on your own, you will want to accept the challenge!
Information

Riding a scooter bike
Everyone joins in here! Whether it is the children from the third grade, teenagers or the executive floor: To ride with the scooter bike from Vorsass down into the valley is the highlight of any school trip or company excursion.

Observing wildlife
Stay on the lookout together, and, when observing wildlife on the Niederhorn, discover the indigenous wild animals from close up. From June until September, on any Thursday morning a local guide will take you on an Alpine safari. For groups, we also offer wildlife observation on other days.
Information

Scooter bike chat
Ride the scooter bike downhill and enjoy your evening off!
Already as from 2 persons, the Niederhorn funicular offers companies, groups and associations a very special start to their evening off. From Monday to Friday, you can take the funicular from Beatenbucht to Vorsass Mid-Station. Using the scooter bike, you will get to Vorsass Mid-Station again, and then, taking the funicular, back to Beatenbucht Lakeside Bay. At the Beatenbucht Lakeside Restaurant, located directly on Lake Thun, a well-deserved dinner awaits you.
Information

Culinary enjoyment
There are also a few culinary delights to discover around the Niederhorn: Beatenbucht Lakeside Restaurant is impressive, with its location directly at the lakeside. The Berghaus Niederhorn invites you, at the peak, to dream and enjoy yourself. And Vorsass Mountain Restaurant offers visitors hearty regional specialties. Something for every taste. Or you might wish to visit one of the restaurants in Beatenberg.

Guided snowshoeing tours
Every Friday and Saturday evening, we offer guided snowshoeing tours. Tour leaders from the region take you with them on one-hour and two-hour snowshoeing tours through the fairytale landscape on the wintry Niederhorn. Along the way, there will be a little breather under the starlit sky, with home-made mulled wine. After the tour, a fine fondue awaits you in the Vorsass Mountain Restaurant, before you descend back into the valley with the Niederhorn Cable Car.
Information

Nocturnal sledging fun
A nocturnal sledge ride by moonlight is a very special experience. Every Friday and Saturday evening, the sledging by moonlight takes place on the Niederhorn. Lanterns mark the 3 km sledging route from the Niederhorn to Vorsass Mid-Station. You can sledge down the mountain as often as you wish, and ride up again with the gondola lift.
You will find even more camaraderie when you go Sledging by Moonlight PLUS, with a joint fondue at the Berghaus Niederhorn, and, for a fine day’s appropriate end, a punch or mulled wine at Vorsass Mountain Restaurant.

Groups as from 20 persons can (if they register in advance) book the Sledging by Moonlight and Sledging by Moonlight PLUS on other weekdays, too, and exclusively for themselves.
Information

Sledging fun
Sledging on the Niederhorn is a memorable experience for the young and adults alike! The 3 km sledging route leads through wintry forests and snowy mountain landscapes. The sledging route of medium difficulty can also be done by beginners. Sledges can be rented at the Mountain Station.
Information

Skiing and snowboarding
The small, but fine, skiing region on the Niederhorn is ideal for a joint day on the slopes. There is something for everyone here, whether they are skiers or snowboarders, beginners or advanced. The Niederhorn makes everyone feel at home.
Information

Winter hiking
A hike through the winter wonderland provides the right ambience for creating lasting memories together. Take time for in-depth discussions, and moments of tranquility. There is a choice of well-prepared winter hiking routes available.
