The environment is quiet and we are very close to the city centre of Berne. In a short distance (by bike or bus) you can reach the wonderful hill "Gurten" where you have a beautiful view to the city and you can enjoy the mountain panorama of the Swiss Alps. In only one hour drive you can reach the beautiful Swiss alps - for skiing during winter season and hiking in summer. Also the cities of Basel, Zurich, Lausanne and Lucerne are only a one hour drive and in only half an hour you can get to several lakes (of Thun, Biel and Neuenburg).
