The slope towards Belpberg is not without road bike. I measured it with the bike computer (barometer measurement, quite reliable) once and noted:
1st stage: 400m / average 08% / max.12%
2nd stage: 250m / average 11% / max.15-16%

Naturpark Gantrisch
July 13, 2026, Gantrisch Lodge Gurnigel Berghaus

*** Grand Reopening on August 1, 2026 *** In the summer of 2026, the Gurnigel Berghaus celebrates its reopening after an extensive renovation. What was once a military accommodation now shines in an alpine chalet style and invites you to linger and relax. The Gurnigel Berghaus has been comprehensively renovated. Many of the materials come from the former Park-Hotel in Gstaad. The freshly renovated mountain house features 27 residential units such as hotel rooms, studios, lofts, and apartments. "We look forward to welcoming gravel bikers, bikers in the summer, and skiers or cross-country skiers in the winter, as well as companies and festive gatherings. Fundamentally, the offering in the Gantrisch region is aimed at nature-loving people who want to relax well. Whether through sports or relaxed lingering."

November 9, 2024, Thun Town Hall

The town hall was built around 1500. At that time it was probably two-storey: there was an open hall downstairs and the council chambers upstairs.

“Aareböötler” know this place. The so-called “Uttiger threshold” below this railway bridge is the most sensitive place between Thun and Bern. The Aaare is easily passable here on foot or by bike.

The Aare is a dreamlike river. Crystal blue water and pleasantly cool temperatures. It is hardly surprising that swimming in the Aare is a popular sport among the people of Bern.

Railway bridge over the Aare on the Bern - Thun route, near Uttigen. Below her is the Uttigerwelle, which is notorious among the "Aareböötler". This has capsized many a rubber boat and caused an unwanted cooling.
