Only a short ride from Bern will take you to the Gurten mountain, this small and peaceful place to get away from the noise of the city and to enjoy the surrounding alpine beauty.
The open space of Gurten will allow you to take refreshing walks by yourself, with children or dogs, to take pictures and take a ride in the red carriages of the funicular railway.
The Gurtenbahn funicular railway has climbed the 858m mountain since 1899 where people can relax and enjoy the view. Until 1959, the Gurten field was used as a golf course. Now, you can find many barbecue spots with free access. Some interesting activities here include riding the electric car, climbing frame, frisbee and bowling, and railways with steam locomotives and cog-wheel sections.
In winter, Gurten is an ideal place for beginner skiers and family sledging.
Gurten is an excellent place to visit especially with families to relax and to enjoy the marvelous nature of Switzerland.
