Stockhorn-Augen
Beside the Stockhorn Panoramic restaurant a 70 metre long tunnel leads through the rock to a “grotto” in the north face, with two viewing windows, known as the Stockhorn-Augen. These look out over Thun and its lake,the Aare valley and the Gürbe valley, across the Mittelland to Jura. Numerous information panels explain and illustrate the geology of the Stockhorn region. In the gallery a beautiful calcite crystal from the region is on show.

Mountain Parties – A Very Special Apéro. The “Grotto” is the perfect place for apéros for weddings, birthdays, or family, club or company events. The “mountain grotto” can accommodate up to 40 people, and we will be happy to serve you with the apéro of your choice.

The construction of the summit gallery and the Stockhorn Eyes
T he project was carried out using conventional tunneling methods, i.e. working upwards by means of drilling and blasting. The original plan was simply for a tunnel of approx. 70 m long, a cross-tunnel of approx. 10 m long and 3 m wide, and two windows, each approx. 3.50 m wide. Various extensions were then added during the course of the work, such as a cellar, exhibition space, Grotto/apéro room and connecting passageway.
