Benefit from our school offer.
An action-packed school trip for people – young and old – with bundles of energy.
Prefer to cruise gently or whizz along? On the two routes from the mid-station Vorsass to Beatenberg station, school pupils can choose between a steeper or gentler route. The children’s scooters are ideal for children in grade 1. So let’s get going!
With the RailAway offer ‘Scooter fun on the Niederhorn for schools’, you benefit from attractive discounts on your school trip and the return journey by public transport. Not only will your school trip cost less, it will be more sustainable, too.
