Schynige Platte offers one of the most breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps, perfect for those seeking a more serene yet awe-inspiring adventure. Located above Wilderswil, this scenic mountain plateau is easily accessible by the charming Schynige Platte Railway, a historic cogwheel train that climbs through lush forests to reveal panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains. Once you reach the top, you can explore well-marked hiking trails that take you through alpine meadows and pristine landscapes. The highlight for me was the Schynige Platte Botanical Alpine Garden, home to over 600 species of mountain plants. Whether you’re hiking, enjoying the views, or simply soaking in the alpine atmosphere, Schynige Platte is a must-see for nature lovers looking for a peaceful escape.
