Cycling day trip from Fribourg to Bern

Ready for a scenic ride from Fribourg to Bern? Buckle up (or rather, helmet on) because this is a classic Swiss journey through rolling hills and picturesque landscapes. Starting in Fribourg, known for its medieval architecture and vibrant student vibe thanks to its university, you’ll pedal your way across a delightful mix of terrains.

Though primarily an asphalt journey (at 38%), you’ll also encounter areas with gravel and loose gravel, so make sure your bike is equipped for a bit of variety. As you climb the 645 meters of ascent, don’t forget to pause and take in the stunning views—max elevation peaks at a respectable 700 meters.

Most of your ride weaves through quiet roads (62%), offering a peaceful escape with just the right touch of challenge. As you descend into Bern, there's more than a bit of freewheeling fun with 723 meters of descent to keep your legs spinning. Bern’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, awaits you at the finish line with its charming streets and the notable Zytglogge clock tower.

Whether you're into history or alpine views, this ride promises both, with a side of Swiss tranquility. Enjoy the ride!
