Brienz — summit of the Brienzer Rothorn

Brienz - Sommet du Brienzer Rothorn

🇨🇭 Bern · Switzerland — Altitude 2266 m

Local time UTC+1Checked 0 viewsHDMountains

This camera looks out from the summit of the Brienzer Rothorn, a peak of about 2,266 metres above the town of Brienz on the shore of Lake Brienz. It is a useful check before planning a walk, a cable car ride or a day in the Bernese Oberland, since mountain conditions can differ sharply from the valley.

The mountain above Lake Brienz

The Brienzer Rothorn rises on the southern side of Lake Brienz in the canton of Bern, in the Bernese Oberland. The town of Brienz sits on the lake shore and is known for woodcarving and the turquoise water that reflects the surrounding slopes. From the summit the land falls away toward the lake and the wider Alpine chain, giving the area its distinctly mountainous character.

What to watch on the camera

Depending on the view and the weather, you may see cloud drifting over the ridges, the lake far below, or the high Alpine peaks beyond it. Clear mornings are often the most rewarding for distant views, while afternoon cloud can build quickly in summer. Winter brings snow to the summit, and changing light at dawn and dusk shows the terrain in strong relief.

Climate and getting around

Summers are mild and bright at the lake and cooler on the summit, while winters are cold with regular snowfall at altitude. The best time to visit in person is typically from late June to September, when the mountain railways and paths are generally open. Nearby cameras in Sörenberg, including the Rothorn summit restaurant view and the Eisee camera, show neighbouring parts of the range.
