Niesen

The Niesen is a near-perfect pyramid shape of mountain peak of the Bernese Alps in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland. The summit of the mountain is 2,362 metres (7,749 ft) in elevation. It has inspired many an artist to depict it. It takes just 30 minutes to reach the 2,362m summit of the pyramid on the funicular railways from Mülenen.

The summit can be reached easily by using the Niesenbahn funicular from Mülenen (near Reichenbach). The construction of the funicular was completed in 1910.
