    The view is even more beautiful on the tower!

    On the Gurten there is this observation tower a little off the beaten track (follow signs). Opening times vary whether summer or winter time. On a steel spiral staircase it goes up in a circle. Above you have a panoramic view.

    In earlier times, this was the site of a protective tower for the city of Bern, where a pile of wood was set on fire in the event of attacks on the city to warn the residents.

    In clear weather, today's tower offers an intoxicating 360-degree panorama of the Jura, the city of Bern, the Gantrisch and the peaks of the main Alpine ridge
