The honest picture first: this is not a Rothorn ticket shop. The railway sells its own tickets, and GetYourGuide has few listings that name the mountain. What GetYourGuide does well here is the neighbourhood: boats, a jetboat ride, Ballenberg and passes.
Our top pick: Interlaken: Scenic Jetboat Ride on Lake Brienz

The one listing that names the Rothorn
Lake Brienz and Brienzer Rothorn: Private Tour from Zurich
Private trip combining lakes, mountain railways and viewpoints. 5.0/5 from 1 review (November 2026), so there is little evidence yet. Read what is included.
Swiss Travel Pass: Swiss All-in-One Pass on Train, Bus, Boat
Unlimited public transport and about 50% off many mountain excursions; the Rothorn railway is half price with it, not free. 4.8/5 from 1,140 reviews (November 2026).
Which should you choose?
- Want the steam train: buy it from the operator (prices) and use GetYourGuide for the rest of the day.
- Based in Interlaken: the boat day pass or jetboat are easy add-ons (lake guide).
- No time to plan: the private Zurich tour is the only listing we found that names the Rothorn, but with one review, ask what the ticket covers.
- Winter visit: see Brienz in winter.
Check the inclusions. Some listings cover only part of the transport. Read the listing carefully, and note that the railway only runs in the summer season.
