The Observatory above Bern
The observatory comes from Monte Generoso (TI) and is a gift from Ferrovia Monte Generoso SA. Sponsored by Kulturprozent, it was in use on Monte Generoso for over 20 years. Due to a lack of interest, it was dismantled and is now getting a new lease of life on the Gurten.
The observatory on the Gurten offers the general public a detailed insight into physical and other scientific phenomena in space. The Gurten Observatory allows you to gaze into a distant world, far away from the lights and noise of the city. Come along on a journey into the universe on Bern's local mountain.
The observatory is supported by the the Culture Percentage of the Migros Aare.
Every tuesday, public observation evenings take place under the professional supervision of experts from Astro Events. The number of visitors is limited to 18 people per evening and advance registration is required.
The tours take place in all weather conditions. In case of bad weather, an alternative program takes place in a seminar room.
