The Mount Washington Observatory | New England’s Weather Station The Mount Washington Hotel at Bretton Woods, NH | Historic Hotel Tour This post was first published in 2016 and has been updated. Have you ever experienced the Mount Washington Cog Railway? Trips on the Cog run about 3 hours (including an hour at the top) and run from late April to early December, but be sure to call or check online before making your plans. So, whether you’re a fan of travel, adventure, nature, science, weather, transportation, history, trains, photography (must I go on?) - a ride on the Cog is a New England experience that’s not to be missed, since it simply cannot be replicated. By climbing aboard, riders are treated to the same breathtaking thrill-ride today as the railway’s first passengers were nearly 150 years ago, and for those that keep the Cog running, that’s exactly how it’s going to stay.

Important note for SBB Ticktes digital and analogue: SBB tickets, whether in paper form or in the app do not work at our turnstiles.Please note that the steam train causes noise and steam.In the event of a high volume of guests or technical failure of a steam locomotive, diesel locomotives may be used in guest service.This gives you direct access to the platform and a guaranteed seat on the desired train: ticketshop. In order to avoid these waiting times, we recommend that you purchase the ticket with seat guarantee in advance. There may be long waiting times on peak days (holiday season and beautiful weather conditions).If you would like to register a trip with a wheelchair, we need the desired travel date, the desired departure time from Brienz, the desired departure time from Rothorn Kulm, the number of accompanying persons and your complete address including telephone number (at least two days before the day of travel). Afterwards it is unfortunately no longer possible to go on a “walk” with a wheelchair, as all the paths around the Rothorn are red and white mountain hiking trails.
The restaurant is barrier-free and also has a wheelchair toilet. Arrived at Rothorn Kulm, the steeply rising path (tarred) to the restaurant has to be mastered (approx. It is therefore necessary if helpers from your side accompany the person so they can lift the person into the wagon and also provide support on the way in an emergency situation (train failure/change of train on the route). The person in the wheelchair is lifted into the wagon by “manpower” because the incline on the platform does not make it possible for us to set up a ramp.

However, these aids may be parked free of charge at the station in Brienz. Also, we cannot take any aids with a motor with us (similar to Swisstrac) as these are very heavy. We cannot take electric wheelchairs or oversized wheelchairs with us. We can transport people in hand wheelchairs on appointment.
