Why go
Schynige Platte is a mountain near Wilderswil; this record's point is its 2076 m summit, the Daube, not the Schynige Platte Railway or its top station, which Jungfraubahnen gives at 1967 m. Jungfraubahnen runs the historic railway up from Wilderswil, and its page describes a botanical alpine garden with around 800 alpine plants, the Swiss Flower & Panorama Trail from the railway station to the mountain hotel, and a skywalk platform at the mountain hotel Schynige Platte. The operator lists alphorn concerts near the railway station and says the high-altitude hike over the Faulhorn to the Bachalpsee and Grindelwald-First starts here. OpenStreetMap places the summit in the municipality of Gsteigwiler; Interlaken is a travel base only.
