Excursión ciclista de un día de Berna a Biel-Bienne

Cycling from Bern to Biel/Bienne

Set out from Switzerland’s charming capital, Bern, and cruise north-west to the bilingual city of Biel/Bienne on this scenic 45 km ride. You’ll leave the historic old town—with its famous clock tower and riverside views—behind as you wind through rolling countryside, mostly along quiet roads and a few well-kept gravel tracks. The ride has some gentle climbs (just under 400 meters of elevation gain), but you’re rewarded with even more downhill stretches—so get ready for some breezy descents!

Surfaces are mostly paved or smooth asphalt, though you’ll need to tackle a handful of gravel sections—perfect for a sturdy road or hybrid bike. Traffic is light; expect peaceful pastures, forest edges, and the occasional sleepy Swiss village along your route.

Finish up in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland’s largest bilingual city, known for its watchmaking heritage and beautiful lake. Why not grab a lakeside coffee or browse through the old town before heading back? This route is a lovely mix of city, countryside, and lakeside scenery—all in a half-day ride!
