Looking for a scenic and relaxed ride from Thun to Bern? This cycle route is just over 34 km and takes you through some lovely Swiss countryside. You’ll start in the historic town of Thun, perched at the edge of Lake Thun with its fairytale castle and views of the Alps. From here, you’ll pedal northwest toward Bern, a UNESCO-listed capital with a charming old town, riverside promenades, and those iconic cobbled streets.

The route is a mix of quiet roads and cycleways, with most of the surface paved or asphalt, making it smooth and comfortable for most bikes. There are a few gentle climbs (just over 200m ascent) and descents, but nothing too tough—perfect for stretching your legs and soaking up the views. Expect a bit of gravel and unpaved track, so sturdy tires are a plus.

It’s a great way to experience the transition from lakeside beauty to Bern’s historical heart. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a coffee or gelato in Bern’s old town as a reward for your ride!

Thun - Schwarzenburg - Bern

Cycling route in Thun, Canton of Bern, Switzerland

Eine landschaftlich schöne Tour auf eher ruhigen Strassen. Steiler Aufstieg von Wattenwil nach Grundbach. ab da bis zur Rütiplötschbrücke 10 km, die immer leicht abschüssig sind. Dann nochmals bis Mamishaus steil, ab Schwarzenburg geht es konstant abwärts nach Bern. Das macht Spass!
