Gurten Ferris wheel

32 meters more view of Bern

Probably the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe on the local mountain

An unforgettable experience awaits this autumn when Europe's highest Ferris wheel begins turning on Bern's local mountain. Set against the backdrop of the golden autumn landscape, it will offer visitors breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding countryside – a spectacle for Bernese locals and visitors alike.

On selected days, you can enjoy highlights such as raclette, fondue or an autumnal brunch at lofty heights. This unique combination of views and cuisine can only be experienced on the Gurten. Early booking is recommended to avoid missing out on this special experience.
