Husband and I woke up feeling like we should get out of town …

Any good suggestions that are 1.5 hours by train max from Bern?

We just feel like walking about / enjoying some nice scenery and having a good meal or two.

Thanks!

Adelboden maybe. Train and bus.

Vevey, Gruyere, Chateau d'Oex, Rochers de Naye

If it's not too late... Maybe Lake Lucerne? There is also a really nice thermal bad over there (though maybe it's best to go there in the evening when it's less crowded).

Whatever you end up doing, I hope you guys have a wonderful day!

How about taking a train to the charming town of Thun? It's only a hop, skip, and a jump away, and it's got all the quaint charm you could ever want. Plus, there's a castle! Who doesn't love a good castle?


Or if you're feeling a bit more adventurous, why not head to Interlaken? It's the perfect place to hike, bike, or paraglide your way to an adrenaline rush. And if you're feeling really daring, you can even try your hand at yodeling. Just don't blame me if you shatter a few eardrums.


And if you who prefer a more laid-back approach, Fribourg is the place to be. With its narrow streets and stunning architecture, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. Just don't forget to bring your monocle and top hat.

I love a walk around the lake at Spiez and then have dinner at Belvedere.

Thun is nice, but Interlaken has become more like downtown Bombay with all the Asian restaurants and shops catering to the tourist trade !

Only any use as a starting point for hiking or Jungfrau, the town itself is crappy.

Thun is like a second village to Bern, I do love it, but am very familiar and back before I crippled myself, I’d cycle there at least once a month. I recommend restaurant Dampschiff - nothing beats an excellent meal and local beer with a view after a pleasant cycling trip:

Fribourg is a good idea!

Thanks to everyone for the lovely suggestions so far … wishing you all a wonderful weekend

Zug welcomes you, just under 2 hours away and we have a lovely lake and mountain to explore.

P.S Perhaps bring a butterfly net to catch a few bank notes

My default is Luzern or Thun.
Love walking around the town and taking in the scenery....
reminds me how beautiful this country is
Hope you had a good day today

For next time the walled town of Murten/Morat. About an hour on the train. A real hidden gem.

Would never correct someone's spelling- but just in case someone wants to Google it- it is Murten (Morat in French) and yes, a gem. Make sure you walk on the city walls too. Even better, go to Neuchâtel and take the boat to Morat <3 a lovely journey.

Avoid Luzern this weekend , there is a massive construction site at the station

Really. was planning to go there tomorrow. thank you for the heads-up

Didn‘t Bowlie write that??

<3 only works on Facebook.

Later edit? Or I had a brain f*rt!

What does <3 mean actually?

It's a sideways penis.

Just kidding...

It's a heart.

Within seconds I corrected my typo.

It’s one of our favourite places to take visitors.

Ah thanks, I thought so.

Yes, love it. Even better, as said above, with the boat across lake Neuchâtel, up the Canal and across Lake Murten... especially Le Neuchâtel, the recently refurbished paddle steamer.
