Beatenberg has served as an alpine farming community in the Bernese Oberland since the Middle Ages. Perched above Lake Thun, the village occupies a broad terrace beneath the Niederhorn, with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau forming the opposite skyline across the water. The settlement stretches along the mountainside rather than around a large centre, while pastures and wooden chalets remain part of its working alpine character. The Niederhornbahn links Beatenberg with the Niederhorn, a prominent local summit and a starting point for walks in the Bernese Alps.
