Mountain'n'Rail Weissenstein
The leisure and nature paradise in Solothurn.
As soon as winter brings the first snow to the region, new life comes to the Weissenstein. After a ride in the gondola lift from Oberdorf, a fantastic Alpine panorama with views of Mont Blanc reveals itself. The Weissenstein promises culinary delights, tobogganing, snowshoe walking and cross-country skiing for the whole family.
From Solothurn, take the train towards Moutier and get off at the “Oberdorf SO” stop. From here, it is an 12-minute ride in the Weissenstein cable car to the top of the mountain.
