Spring festival

The children's attraction on Bern's local mountain

Fun and games all day long

Every year at the beginning of spring, Gurten transforms into a colorful children's paradise! The Spring Festival offers a variety of child-friendly attractions and activities. In the Gurtengärtli, little artists can make creative objects and take them home with them. An exciting bike course awaits on the large lawn, while our partners' stands offer crafts, puzzles, games, and snacks.

A special highlight is the stage, where exciting performances, fairy tales, and other shows will make children's eyes light up. There are also new attractions every year. Experience an unforgettable day full of games, fun, and springtime joy on the Gurten!

The Spring Festival on the Gurten is supported by Migros Culture Percentage, part of the Migros Group's social commitment: migros-engagement.ch.
