Gravel Festival Bern

17 October 2026

Gravel Festival Bern, formerly Gravel Ride & Race, combines gravel, community, expo, food and festival atmosphere. Since 2018, it has attracted gravel fans to Bern.

The Gravel Festival Bern is the meeting place for everyone who wants to do more than just ride gravel, they want to experience it. People come together here, share their passion, discover new bikes and enjoy the unique atmosphere. For many, the event has long become more than just a race, it is the last big gravel party of the year. Whether it is a relaxed ride, an ambitious race, a shared VCS Family Ride or a Kids Gravel event, everyone finds their place. At the heart of the event remains the tried and tested course with its beautiful gravel roads, which has been selectively refined and now promises even more riding fun.

More than 30 exhibitors showcase the latest bikes and accessories from around 40 brands, of course also available for testing! The experience is rounded off by a wide range of street food options and a varied supporting programme for young and old, including a bouncy castle, roller slide, skills course and more.
