View from the Niesen towards south into the Kander valley.
The Niesen is a mountain of the Bernese Alps in Swizerland. It overlooks Lake Thun, in the Bernese Oberland region, and forms the northen end of a ridge that stretches north from the Albristhorn and Mannliflue, separating the Simmental and Kandertal valleys.
Administratively, the summit is shared between the municipalities of Reichenbach im Kandertal, to the south-east, and Wimmis, to the west and north. Both municipalities are in the canton of Bern.
The summit of the mountain (2362 metres) can be reached easily by using the Niesenbahn funicular from Mülenen (near Reichenbach). The construction of the funicular was completed in 1910. Alongside the path of the Niesenbahn is the longest stairway in the world with 11,674 steps. It is open only once a year to the public for a stair run.
Because of its shape, the Niesen is often called the Swiss Pyramid.
