Description
The Schynige Platte is a high mountain area at the foot of the Gumihorn, located between Gsteigwiler and Guendlischwand in the Bernese Oberland. It lies at an altitude of about 2,000 metres (7,000 ft), at the western end of a prominent ridge of the Schwarzhorn range, which separates the valley of the Loetschine from Lake Brienz. It is notable for its hotel and, since 1893, its mountain railway, one of the highest in Switzerland. In good weather conditions the area offers spectacular views to many surrounding mountains, including the Eiger, Moench, Jungfrau, and others giants of the Bernese Alps. Also, the town of Interlaken and the two great lakes of Thun and Brienz are visible to the north, over 1,500 metres (5,000 ft) lower.
