Quick ride by bicycle from Bern to Ostermundigen

Looking for a leisurely ride from the heart of Switzerland’s capital to the nearby suburb of Ostermundigen? This short 6 km route takes you from the historic streets of Bern—famed for its medieval old town and the iconic Zytglogge clock tower—out east toward quieter neighborhoods.

You’ll cycle mostly on smooth asphalt, with gentle ups and downs (just under 50 meters of ascent, so nothing too tough!). The route sticks to quiet roads nearly the whole way, meaning you can enjoy the scenery without vying for space with heavy traffic. As you roll into Ostermundigen, you’ll find yourself in a laid-back area with local parks and good connections back into Bern.

Perfect for a casual afternoon spin, commuting, or just exploring the area. Don’t forget to pause in Bern if you’ve never seen the Bear Park or grabbed a coffee by the river—then it’s an easy ride to the calmer streets of Ostermundigen!
