The route can easily be broken up into several stages, leaving more time to enjoy the experiences along the way. You can also choose your own starting point, direction and route length. All you have to do is follow the red Veloland 888 signs and stop at the marked highlights.

The best way to reach the cycling tour 888 Grünes Band Bern (Bern’s Green Belt) is directly by e-bike. Travel comfortably to Bern by public transport and start the tour from Bern railway station. From here, the Veloland network leads to the Green Belt. Take the number 37 through the Breitenrain district via Ostermundigen to Deisswil. Turn right there onto number 888 and ride through the Gümligen valley to Gümligen – and you’re already cycling on the Green Belt around the federal city. As there is no official start and finish point, you can start and finish from any point.

No e-bike of your own or don’t have your own with you? No problem, you can rent e-bikes quickly and easily at these stations from Rent a Bike.

Different models of e-bikes have different battery charge capacities. Newer ones can easily last the entire 59 kilometres of the Grünes Band (Green Belt) without an extra battery or charging break. We always recommend fully charging the battery before setting off or, depending on the model, taking an additional battery or your own charger with you.

And if the battery doesn’t last quite as long as you planned, it can be recharged en route. Green-marked 888 charging sockets are available at the following locations:

It’s not just a coincidence that the charging sockets are located right next to restaurants – while your e-bike battery is being topped up, you can also recharge your own batteries with local specialities.

We are more than happy to help with any further questions.
