Yes it is from the bottom (Beatenbucht) to the Top (Niederhorn) accessible by wheelchair.

Hi Carol, a return ticket up the mountain can go up to 58 Franks. Not really cheap. If busy will depends the weather. Mid September no snow. You have to go further up mountains for that. Try to go for the Aletschgletscher. Have a very nice trip and take care of yourself.

There are three points at which you can leave the train / cablecar System so it depends on what you want to do. I would suggest you go right to the top and enjoy the view. Walk downhill to the middle station where you can hire a trotti bike or else continue walking down. To help you decide you can download an excellent map app from the Swiss Tourist folk or else buy the Kümmerly+ Frey Map No.18, Jungfrau Region. Make sure it’s the walkers map and not the cyclists map. The difference is the routes which are highlighted.

Dear Siufat, we visited Niederhorn in May 2017, there was no snow at all. Either you have to change the dates or go to some other place like Jungfrau (very expensive, too long to reach and in my opinion highly over-rated) The Schilthorn is much better, lots of snow was there in May, and you can take good pictures too. Look it up on the net for the cost - you have to take a bus from Lauterbrunnen to the Cable car - there are 3 cable cars which take you up and the views on the way are breathtaking. Hope this helps :) Buy a Swiss rail pass which is a good deal, you can travel on almost all trains/ boats and some cable cars, on the others you get good discounts. Hope this helps.Good luck and have a good trip.

I am not sure if there will be snow on the Niederhorn itself in May as it very much depends on how quickly the snow melts from the Winter and how warm the Spring is. There is, however, a most beautiful view from the Niederhorn towards the high peaks of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau and these would look lovely in the background - I think their summits would still be covered in snow. Murren is a very pretty village even if there is no snow, but to guarantee snow you should perhaps take the gondola cable car from Murren to the peak of the Schilthorn where you should find snow at this time of year. It is a busy place with the James Bond connections but would certainly make an interesting venue for a photoshoot. Also, perhaps think about Kleine Scheidegg or Mannlichen which are stunning locations. You can access both from Grindelwald. If you are worried about the cost, then buy some sort of Swiss travel discount card which will give you reductions on transport fees. There is a lot of information about these online and also about the locations I have suggested. (Unfortunately, Switzerland is an expensive country!) Remember, though, that it is all weather-dependent - I have known heavy snow in the Austrian Alps even in mid-June, so you may be lucky. Even if there is little snow, these are all such wonderful places that I am sure you would have lovely photos.
