Itinerary

After you’ve dropped your luggage off in Bern, it’s time to hop straight on your bikes. As you leave the bustling city centre behind you and circle the Swiss capital on the quiet side streets along the Green Belt (Grünes Band), your time exploring the Little Bern Loop has begun!

Before long, a magnificent panoramic view of the Bernese Oberland’s snow-covered peaks unfurls before you. From Münsingen, follow the Bern South route and cross the Gürbetal valley. Finally, you’ll ascend to a sunny farm above Wattenwil.

Tour character

Whether you turn the motor on or not, this route is a pleasure to ride on an e-bike. The trail around the Swiss capital of Bern passes through the Gantrisch Nature Park, the Laupen region and over the Frienisberg plateau. It’s largely free of traffic and boasts spectacular views, but there are some steep climbs. Some shorter sections are unpaved, but these are nonetheless easy to ride.

Arrival by train

Leave your car at home! For every cycling, biking, or hiking tour in Switzerland, each participant receives an SBB coupon that grants a CHF 10 discount on their train ticket for the journey. The discount can be redeemed in the SBB online shop or via the SBB app.

For many trips, we use luggage counters at train stations at the beginning and end of the journey for convenient baggage drop-off and collection. This can easily be combined with your train travel.
