Just 5 minutes from Bern by funicular, Gurten is the ultimate local escape for families. At the top you’ll find a huge playground, mini train, summer toboggan run, open meadows for picnics, and panoramic views over the city and the Alps. It’s the kind of place where kids can run free for hours while parents soak in the scenery.

Good to know: The funicular can be found at the Wabern funicular station. It is stroller-friendly, there’s a restaurant and BBQ spots, and the toboggan + train usually run March through autumn (weather dependent).

Find info on the toboggan run here.
