With its excellent location close to Bern, Fribourg and Thun, the Gantrisch panoramic trail is particularly pleasant, offering not just plenty of fresh mountain air and plenty of exercise, but also breathtaking views of the surroundings. To the south the Stockhorn range feels almost within grasp; and to the north, the gaze is inexorably drawn to the Schwarzenburg and Bernese Mittelland. While the mountains of central Switzerland and the Bernese Oberland can be admired to the east, to the west the lake of Schwarzsee, the western Alps and the lakes of Biel, Murten and Neuchâtel are all discernible.

The ‘Musse:um’ circular path is the perfect trail to unwind and relax. Indeed, there are plenty of wooden benches along the 5.3 km circuit to take a break and savour the setting. Those in search of relaxation will find various suggestions for gentle exercise routines designed to help you unwind and ease away any tension, calm your breathing, and sharpen your awareness and perception. Complete relaxation is guaranteed if you’re able to secure the much sought-after seat on the ‘Bank zum Nichtstun’ (‘bench of indolence’) and contemplate the landscape either through the blue lens or the yellow lens.
