Gurten Ferris wheel

32 meters more view of Bern

Probably the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe on the local mountain

An unforgettable experience: from September 13 to October 19, 2025, what is probably Europe's highest Ferris wheel will be turning on Bern's local mountain. Nestled in the golden autumn landscape, it offers breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding countryside – a spectacle for Bernese locals and visitors from afar alike.

On selected days, highlights such as raclette, fondue, or an autumnal brunch can be enjoyed at lofty heights. The combination of views and cuisine can only be experienced on the Gurten. Early booking is recommended so as not to miss out on this special experience.
