Gurten circular route

Numerous paths lead up and around Bern's local mountain. One of these paths is the "Grand Circular Trail", which is a marked circular hiking trail. It first runs along the Gurtenwiese meadow to the east signal, from where you can enjoy an impressive view of the Alpine chain. The trail then descends a little to Studholz and curves around the edge of the forest back towards Gurten Kulm. Before relaxing in the restaurant or taking the Gurtenbahn down into the valley, you should definitely climb the Gurten tower. The observation tower offers a fantastic panoramic view, including picturesque views of the city of Bern and the distant high Alps.

On the car-free Gurten, hikers and walkers can expect a varied range of routes all year round. Whether with or without the support of the Gurtenbahn - you can enjoy nature here in both summer and winter. The Gurtenbahn runs up to the top every quarter of an hour from 7:00 am.
