Quick ride by bicycle from Biel/Bienne to Nidau

Set out from the lively city of Biel/Bienne, famous for its bilingual (German and French) culture and its beautiful lakeside setting. Your short spin takes you southwards, sticking mostly to quiet, paved roads—a super chill ride with barely any hills (just a gentle descent overall).

As you pedal away from Biel/Bienne’s historic old town and watch the Jura mountains fade in the background, you’ll cruise through peaceful neighborhoods. The route is nearly all on smooth asphalt, making it perfect for all bike types and skill levels.

In less than 3 km, you’ll roll into Nidau, a charming town known for its medieval castle and canal network. Don’t miss a stop by the Nidau Castle or the shores of Lake Biel—perfect for a post-ride breather or snack. All in all, this is an easy, scenic trip connecting two gems along the lake, ideal for a short outing or a relaxed commute.
