Track in Bern?

Hi All!

I was wondering if anyone knew of a public running track in/around Bern. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Track in Bern?

There is a 600 Meter "Finnenbahn" near Bern:

And here you can find other installations:

A click on each location shows you (in German) what they have:

Re: Track in Bern?

Hi Tomcat!

Thanks for this info! It was just what I was looking for. And now a quick follow up question: Is the track open for public use and is there a cost to use it? I looked around on the website, but my German is horrible. Sorry if the answer to this question is obvious. Thanks for your help!

PS. I am specifically interested in the track at Schwellenmätteli, since this is near where I live.

Re: Track in Bern?

Looks to me like it's part of a school ... so open to the public and free access unless the school is using it.

Opening hours are here on page 2:

No use noon - 2 PM.
