The first train for Schynige Platte leaves at 7:25am from Wilderswil Station. Taking the first train is ideal to get the clearest views of the Alps. However, trains leave about every 45 minutes from Wilderswil to Schynige Platte.
To get to Wilderswil with enough time to buy your train ticket to Schynige Platte, board a bus or train from Interlaken around, or just before, 7:00am. If you stay at Balmer’s Tent Village, the bus departs from the stop directly in front of it at 7:04am.
Once you arrive at Wilderswil station, you can buy a ticket to Schynige Platte (32 CHF one way).
