Bellelay – Sustenpass

The Via Berna presents a cross-section of the diverse canton of Bern. From the gentle hills on the edge of the Franches-Montagnes, it crosses the highest Jura fold. Along the Aare to Lake Thun, across several Alpine passes and on mountain trails with incredible views, you can reach Susten Pass in 20 stages.
