Gurten funicular reconstruction
The Gurtenbahn conversion will take place up to and including May 15, 2024. Replacement buses will run on the Gurten during this time. The adjusted timetable can be found here.
Fun park
Where fun, excitement and action come together surrounded by nature. Our fun park is the perfect place to play, explore and let off steam. Numerous free activities for children and adults. From the miniature railway to a chance to cool off in the Gurten lake – lots of fun for the entire family.
Gurten garden
The natural Gurten garden is freely accessible to visitors. It offers young and old an enchanting world of experience with a variety of colourful plants.
Sports activities
Standing 316 meters above Bern, the emblematic mountain is ideal for outdoor training. Thanks to the altitude, the shady trees and the fresh air, it is always one to two degrees cooler on the Gurten than in the city. The car-free zone also makes it a safe environment.
Other activities
In addition to the children’s activities and sports activities, the Gurten also offers so much more. Seven fire pits, a 22-meter high observation tower and a modern observatory offering a glimpse of the distant universe. Thanks to the Migros Culture Percentage, most attractions can be enjoyed free of charge.
Art
Bern’s local mountain: a natural oasis for some, an arts venue for others. The Gurten offers you the chance not only to admire the view over Bern but also to enjoy the contemporary art offerings of regional, national and international artists.
