View of Lake Biel

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Lake Biel to Lake Neuchatel the road is slightly higher than the valley floor. This enables magnificent views in the direction of travel and over the lakes towards Central Switzerland. This is so beautiful

View of Lake Biel from Tessenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lake Biel has something to offer all year round. Of course, you think first of summer and perhaps autumn in the vineyards, but even in winter a tour through the vineyards on the western shore of the lake has a very special charm.
On a tour in late autumn or during the cold season, you will hardly meet anyone, which is all the more impressive when you pedal and take in the scenery from the calm lake below you.

Take advantage of a bench to give yourself a break and admire the scenery. The Plateau de Diesse in the foreground and the Chasseral in the second will make you have a good time.

Chasseral Summit

Highlight • Summit

The Chasseral at 1,600 meters is a real challenge; for biking, racing bike or on foot! The Chasseral can be approached from different angles and is a lot of fun! For MTB via Evilard, Orvin, Les Prés d’Orvin and Rägiswald a lot of variety with gravel paths or single trails!

Lake Biel

Highlight • Lake

Biel is not only beautifully situated on the lake, it is also one of the most important watch cities in the world. So it's no wonder that a large sundial has been set up at the harbor, with the shadow of which you can read the current time on the promenade at the boat jetties. You can recognize it by a small ball on its tip. Otherwise it looks rather simple and resembles a lamppost.

View of the Nidau-Büren Canal

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Dr. Schneider Bridge is the first bridge on the Nidau-Büren Canal. It is named after Dr. Johann Rudolf Schneider, who campaigned for the correction of the Jura waters. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the beginning of the canal further ahead on Lake Biel.
