Trail tip for the weekend: Berner Rundfahrt

Instead of saddle and handlebars, office chairs and keyboards cling to our butts and hands during the week. But the weekend is coming! Every Thursday from now on, Ride will be bringing you the tour tip for the weekend, carefully selected according to local conditions and weather. Let's start with the "Berner Rundfahrt". The legendary route combines all the single trails of the Bern agglomeration into a varied city tour.

The spring-like temperatures are tempting us out on bike tours earlier than other years. But it's still too early for trail adventures in the foothills of the Alps, let alone in the Alps - there is still a lot of snow for a long time. Be that as it may, the Central Plateau has countless attractive singletrail routes that can already be ridden in March. For example, the "Berner Rundfahrt". It integrates the best single trails in the Bern region, all with a moderate level of difficulty. These include the Bremgartenwald, the Ulmizberg, the Gurten and the Bantiger. With good visibility, the route is currently particularly attractive because the snow-covered Bernese Alps seem close enough to touch.

According to the route description in the Ride tour database, the tour starts in Bremgartenwald near the Länggasse district with good connections to the main railway station. However, if you are traveling by car, you can also easily start at the Grauholz freeway service area.Weather for Bern at the weekend

On Saturday, mainly along the eastern foothills of the Alps and the Alps in the morning, high foggy clouds with an upper limit around 1200 to 1500 meters. Otherwise mostly sunny. On Sunday, despite denser cloud fields, probably fairly sunny and mostly dry.
