Beatenberg Sunrise – The Best Sunrise View in Switzerland

A Beatenberg sunrise is one of the most spectacular sunrise experiences in Switzerland. Beatenberg, commonly known as the "sun terrace" affords you numerous vantage points to wonder at the Alpen Glow of morning sunlight touching the mountains and clouds.  For a sunrise over the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau you do not need to leave our our home!  Wake up and enjoy a coffee and enjoy the views.  A perfect start to any day!

Beatenberg Sunset – Magical Sunsets over Lake Thun and Niesen

Beatenberg, the "sun terrace" receives the longest sunglight hours of any village in the entire Bernese Oberland due to its exceptional south facing position.  Not only can you enjoy amazing sunrises, Beatenberg sunsets are equally stunning.  With the sun setting behind the Niesen, the Alpen Glow and Light over lake Thun is simply beautiful. Come home to our Chalet after a day full of exploring and enjoy a spectacular Beatenberg sunset!

Beatenberg Above the Clouds - Sunny days over the "Nebelmeer"

In fall and winter, a thick layer of fog — the Nebelmeer — often blankets Interlaken and the lakes below, turning the valleys into a shimmering sea of mist. From Beatenberg, you rise above this cloud layer and enjoy clear skies, longer daylight, and unobstructed alpine views. The sunlight hits the peaks while the fog glows softly below, creating a magical contrast of light and shadow. 

Beatenberg - A True Haven for Nature and Wildlife Lovers 

Beatenberg abounds with not only beautiful scenery!  Wildlife like Steinbock and Gemse are often seen on the hiking trails above Beatenberg, especially in the mornings and evenings.  If catching a spectacular Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau Sunrise or a magical Beatenberg Sunset over the Niesen is not enough to get you on to the hiking trails, maybe seeing up close a Steinbock - or even a heard will get you moving!
