Bicycle trekking

Bike trekking lets you experience and enjoy the passing landscape in all its diversity. E-bike fans can reach the countryside from the city in just a few minutes. Highlights such as the “Grünes Band Bern” e-bike route around the capital city, the Emmental valley, and the Gantrisch region are just a short ride away.

An e-bike is the perfect means of transport for enjoyable, leisurely excursions. You can relax while gliding over gently rolling hills, through forests and past lush pastures. In addition to many impressive natural sites and lookout points, there are also barbecue and swimming areas along the routes, inviting you to stop and take a break. We recommend buying picnic ingredients at one of the many farm shops en route. If you prefer a sit-down meal, you can fortify yourself during a visit to one of the country inns, restaurants or pubs along the way.

This page summarises which routes are particularly suitable for bicycle trekking.
