The gondola ride to the Weissenstein is the most comfortable and scenic way to reach the local mountain of Solothurn. The first Jura mountain range offers a wonderful and family-friendly hiking and excursion destination at 1200 meters above sea level. Enjoy alpine meadows, Jura forests, and the bright limestone of the Jura. Overgrown with moss and roots, the mountain becomes a romantic natural paradise. Children discover all kinds of dwarves, ants, and below the Hotel Weissenstein, one of the largest natural playgrounds in Switzerland. Adults enjoy the mountain freshness and marvel at the picturesque beauty of the Jura mountains. Many public fire pits invite you to barbecue.
Whatever you do on the Weissenstein, a visit to the viewing terrace of the Hotel Weissenstein is a must. Nowhere else will you be presented with the Swiss Alpine chain from Säntis to Mont Blanc more impressively. Especially in the clear autumn and winter air, the long-distance view is overwhelming.
