How to get to Uphill Conf

The easiest way to get to the Uphill Conf in Bern is by public transport. It takes about 30 minutes from Bern main station to Gurten Kulm (Bergstation) where the conference will take place. Please check the timetable on sbb.ch.

From Bern main station, the best solution is to take S-Bahn no. 3/31 in the direction of Belp to the “Wabern” station or tram no. 9 towards Wabern until the “Gurtenbahn” stop. The Gurten funicular valley station is only a few steps from the stops. Alternatively, the following bus routes also go to the Gurten valley station: Bus line 29 (Köniz local bus) and Bus line 22 (Brünnen-Kleinwabern).

Your tickets for the Gurtenbahn are included in the ticket price; you'll soon receive detailed instructions on how to validate them in our newsletter.

The road leading up to the Gurten is closed to private traffic. There is a general ban on vehicles. You can drive to the bottom station. Next to the station is a parking garage with 285 parking spaces (subject to a fee), five charging stations for electric cars and two disabled parking spaces.
