SchweizMobil Route 401: Riedtwil-Wynigen

The Aare river flows around three sides of the city of Bern. With its crystal-clear turquoise water – in which hundreds of swimmers splash about in the summer – it shapes the city’s life and characterizes the picturesque cityscape of the Old Town of Bern, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The BLS area offers a large variety of inspiration and excursions, such as e-bike rides, hiking, winter activities and indoor attractions.

Go hiking, fishing or even ice fishing, enjoy a tasty fondue in an igloo or just sit back and take in the lovely view of the Bernese Oberland while eating brunch – a visit to the Stockhorn is the ideal destination in summer or winter.

The Forest Adventure Trail in Roggwil may only be one kilometre long, but it is full of lovingly designed learning stations that keep families busy and entertained all afternoon.

Sweating in the sauna, cooling down in the cold-water pool and enjoying the outdoor jacuzzi – enjoy a perfect spa day in Herzogenbuchsee. And for maximum relaxation, treat yourself to a spa and culture package and overnight stay.

Spa days on the banks of lake Thun with a beautiful view of the mountains: the Deltapark in Gwatt offers just that. And the private spa suites guarantee undisturbed, exclusive relaxation.

Have you ever tried sweating it out in a “Schnapsbrennersauna”? Or relaxed in an “Ämmitaler Dampfstube”? At the spa at Landgasthof Lueg in the middle of the idyllic Emmental, you’ll be able to experience just that – and much more.

This romantic little city nestled in the Emmental valley has more to offer than you would imagine. History and culture buffs, nature lovers and connoisseurs will all find something to enjoy here.

Follow in the footsteps of James Bond and enjoy a wonderful 360° panoramic view of the snow-capped mountains on Schilthorn – Piz Gloria at 2,970 metres above sea level.

Federal city, city of shopping, pleasure, culture: Bern is diverse and unique. Whether you’re looking for nature, cultural activities, or great food – this is the place for you.

In the midst of the rolling green hills of the Emmental valley, just 35 minutes from Bern, lies the quaint village of Trubschachen. Visitors immediately notice the delicious smell wafting through the village: a tell-tale sign that this is where Kambly bakes their world-famous biscuits – and they’ve been doing so since 1910.

How about exploring the capital on foot, surrounded by lush trees and colourful flowers? Head outside for this 6.3-kilometre walk along the Aare river and discover Bern’s green side.
