Tips on visiting Harder Kulm 



While you brace up for a breath-taking views of the world-famous Jungfrau region  from Harder Kulm, here are a few tips before you head up the trail:

- Keep in mind about the outfit you choose to wear. Check the local weather conditions and consider wearing warm clothing as the viewpoint is at a considerable altitude. As regards the footwear, ensure that you have your sneakers or comfortable walking shoes as you will be able to explore the top only on foot.

Wear sunglasses to avoid the blinding glare of the sun at such altitudes. 

Sunset time is the ideal time of the day to visit Harder Kulm especially if you are eager for the picture postcard shots of the Alps and the surrounding landscape. 

If you are not choosing to hike the trail, the funicular ride is the only option to reach the summit.

Flying at the Interlaken was one of the most enchanting experiences we had in Switzerland. My partner and I signed up for it. Neither of us had any prior experience in the sport but there was an instructor to guide us along. Interlaken is most beautiful to begin with, but the bird's eye views are just breathtaking. Also Thanks to Thrillophilia for instant booking and great deals!!

If you’re visiting Interlaken, I’d definitely suggest a hike up to Harder Kulm. We got the tickets for the funicular ride from Thrillophilia, which came with great discounts. The ride in itself was fantastic, but the views from the top were even better. We left with some of the best pictures of our trip from here.

We booked this round-way train trip to Harder Kulm to enjoy the stunning beauty of the Swiss mountainside. I must say the trip was awesome and the surrounding views from the train left us spellbound. The arrangements of the Thrillophilia team were up to the mark. The best part was that I scheduled it for sunset views based on their recommendation, and the experience was incredible.
