Hiking enthusiasts and walkers will find a wide range of routes on the car-free Gurten. The hiking trails are signposted by the Berner Wanderwege association. The Gurten is located 316 metres above Bern and is therefore 858 metres above sea level at its highest point, the Ostsignal.

The hikes and walks presented here are suitable for different needs. Most of the routes are easy and can be done with children. Only the descent in the Grüenebodewald forest (route no. 3) is reserved for experienced hikers and should only be undertaken in dry weather.
