Walking Tour Gurten Top of Bern | Switzerland 4K


The Gurten is a mountain situated just to the south of Bern, the capital city of Switzerland. It is 858 meters high, and the summit yields views of Bern, the Jura mountains, and of the Alps.

Facilities on the Gurten include a hotel, restaurants, a 25-meter-high viewing tower, and a children's playground. Winter sports facilities are available in winter. The Gurtenfestival, a music festival, is held every year in the middle of July.

The Gurten is accessible on foot, or by the Gurten Funicular from Wabern. Wabern can itself be reached from central Bern by tram, train, or car. Wabern bei Bern station, on lines S3 and S31 of the Bern S-Bahn, is adjacent to the lower station of the funicular, as is the Gurtenbahn stop on Bern tramway route 9.

Ruins of the Ägerten castle
The castle site of Aegerten lies a good 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) to the southeast of the Gurten summit.
