The children's entertainment begins at the foot of the mountain: the new red funicular is a fast way to reach the airy heights. And then there are choices to be made: miniature railway or playground, a game of frisbee-golf or outdoor nine men's morris, driving around in kids cars or organising races on the large green? Then a picnic on the large green or chips in the restaurant to regain strength. It goes without saying that the Gurten is car-free which allows parents to enjoy the beautiful views without having to worry.
How to get there:
By public transportation: At the train station take Tram No. 9 up to stop Gurtenbahn.
By car: A site map is to be found on www.gurtenpark.ch.

Bern's signature mountain, which towers 280 m above the city, is widely known. Culture, leisure and games are focal points on Bern's very own mountain. Ideal recreation area close to town, with a children's paradise, miniature train, grill spots, and in fine weather a breathtaking view of the Bernese Alps and the City of Bern. The buildings reflect the symbioses of new and old architecture.
