Reichenbach im Kandertal

Reichenbach im Kandertal is best known in the Bernese Oberland for the Niesenbahn funicular, which has linked Mülenen with the slopes of the pyramid-shaped Niesen since 1910. The municipality stretches along the Kander River, where the main Kandertal meets the route into the Kiental side valley. Mülenen’s rail connection places the village on the historic Lötschberg route between Thun and Brig, while Reichenbach retains the compact character of a working Alpine valley community. The funicular’s long maintenance staircase hosts the annual Niesen Treppenlauf race, underlining the mountain’s role beyond sightseeing.
