Travel and transport agencies Frutigland – Kandersteg

The key to a panoramic view at 2,336 m above sea level, from the Black Forest to the high Bernese Alps. The 30-minute funicular ride up the 11,674 steps of the neighbouring staircase (world record!) is reserved for service personnel or, once a year, for competitors in the official Niesen Staircase Race. You can stop at various landings to hike up or down. The funicular is not open all year round, so the summer period is the best time to experience it.
