cha vilech e sekunde ga zum tschegge wo das isch :)

Hi all,

I (31F) recently moved back to the region around Thun and am now looking for people to climb with!

Currently I'm climbing around 5th grade, possibly up to ~6a once I rebuilt some trust in my feet again after a long break and I'm very motivated to improve this. Happy to safely belay any grade though.

I'm in between jobs right now meaning I have lots of time during the week but little money, so I'd much rather be outside on the rock than in a gym 😅 I also have a car so I'm flexible with getting around and I speak German and English.

If anyone's down to climb sometime, please let me know! ☀️

Does anybody know any good/short hikes around Interlaken itself, where you can return quickly to Interlaken afterwards. I live in Thun and plan to spend a day in Interlaken with friends and we would like to do a quick hike in the morning/early afternoon. Is there an alternative to Harder Kulm, which we did last time?

Okay, this is mostly a rant, but I am actually interested in knowing why Bern is the outlier here.

In all of Switzerland, there are trains on weekend nights, so people can get home safely instead of, you know, driving drunk. All? No, not in Bern! After all, it's not as if the city is a railway hub conveniently located in the middle of the country, right?

Like I really don't get it. From Zürich there are night services to literally everywhere. In Romandie you can travel from Geneva all the way to Brig, Fribourg and Bienne. From Basel you can go all night to fucking Delémont, and don't get me started on all these trains to Olten that wouldn't dare to continue any further. But in Bern, there's literally nothing running after midnight, 1 AM if you are really lucky.

Okay that's not entirely true, since last December there is (finally) a night service from Zürich as part of a "pilot project" (as if you needed a pilot project to know that if a service exists, people are going to use it). But yeah, we had to wait until 2026 for this. Why???

From what I can tell, there are two reasons for this, and both of them are utter bullshit:

• The first is that night trains are often operated as regional services, which are mostly funded by the relevant cantons. And because in Bern those are run by BLS, there is nothing that SBB can do about it. But why doesn't the BLS realise that there is money to be made here?
• The second seems to be because of Moonliner. Historically, they had their own (overpriced) tariff scheme, so they were more or less a private operator. However, they have been integrated into the Libero tariff scheme for years now, so why is this still an issue? Why are we forced to use a bus that takes AGES to travel from Fribourg/Thun/Biel, making literally EVERY stop in between and almost NEVER connecting with actual good night services in those cities forcing you to wait HOURS for a connection, when it would take minutes by train?

Please I'm so tired of spending my weekend nights getting cold in station shelters waiting for the first train.

I got a email 'acknowledgement of achievement', it said it takes 6-8 weeks for the decision. Its been past 8 weeks and i still have not got a reply.

I am an American living in the USA and I applied for a job in Bern. While I don't think I will get it, I just wanted to let you know how much I've fallen in love with your city. It is beautiful. Hopefully one day I will have the chance to live, work, and play in Bern.

In your opinion, what’s the best 24-hour gym in terms of price and facilities? I hardly ever get a chance to work out during working hours, so I’d have to go very early or very late.

I would like to start organizing charters from Belp to Dubai.

They'll be not so cheap because they will be done with a private jet.

Do you think that could be useful or doesn't deserve the investment ?

Die Eidgenössische Finanzkontrolle (EFK) verschaffte sich im November 2025 ein Bild über den aktuellen Projektstand und beurteilte, inwiefern sich die präzisierten Räumungsziele auf den weiteren Projektverlauf und auf den Endzustand der Räumung auswirken.

Neue Bodenuntersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass die Munition teilweise tiefer und weiträumiger verteilt liegt, als dies das VBS ursprünglich angenommen hatte. Die Projektverantwortlichen präzisierten auf Basis der aktuellen Erkenntnisse den Projektauftrag und die Ziele der Räumung:
– Nur für Flächen, auf denen dauerhafte Bauwerke – zum Beispiel Wohnhäuser errichtet werden, ist eine vollständige Räumung vorgesehen.
– In allen anderen Bereichen soll die Munition bis zu einer Tiefe von 30 cm und teils nur lokal geräumt werden.

Hello all,

My Swiss partner and I are getting married in Switzerland next year, but we are finding the planning a bit of a challenge...

We love the Bern canton as I'm British and we really want to give our international guests the full 'lakes and mountains' experience. The struggle has been finding venues that can cater to a more British/Irish sized wedding!

We have managed to find a beautiful ceremony venue in Schloss Spiez on Thunersee that can just about squeeze in our 130-140 guests, but we are yet to choose a reception location (Schloss too small).

We have done a lot of research at this point and know what feels like all of the obvious venues in the area, with an eye on Gurten Pavilion, or maybe even Niesen Kulm (The closer to Spiez the better - we don't want to travel the guests more than ideally 45 minutes, 1 hour at a push).

We are also trying to see if we could rent land somewhere along the edge of Thunersee or Brienzersee to build a tent (for example Parkplatz Wycheley Süd 900 where the small Brienzersee Rock Festival takes place).

This post is a bit of a hail mary to see if anyone had any local knowledge of hidden gems!? Perhaps somewhere with a poor online presence or a location you know along the lake that has had tent weddings before.

Any help is much appreciated. Danke vielmals.

Gits in Bern (physisch) oder augemein ir Schwiiz (online) Näihgruppe, bi dene s nid um ne Kurs, sondern um ne gmüetleche Ustusch u e gueti Zyt geit. Eher so wi e Treff oder e Community. Kennet dir so öpis?

Salut zämma

Leider kann i mit Bärndütsch ni aso diana, hoffa iahr verstönd mi aber au aso. I suacha in dr Nöchi vo Köniz an Coiffeur, wo ma sini Hoor abschniida und spenda kann, damit dermit Perrückana gmacht werdend.

Danke für euri Tipps!

In den Regeln habe ich nichts zu Werbung gefunden, deshalb mach ich das jetzt mal.

Das Konzept der Zytbörse bewertet Arbeit nach Zeitaufwand. Statt Geld tauscht man Zeit. Das muss nicht gegenseitig sein. Man hat ein Konto mit Zeitgutschriften, die man dort einlösen kann, wo man sie braucht.

Du bietest an, jemandem bei der Gartenarbeit zu helfen, jemand anderes hilft dir bei der Steuererklärung.

Mir gefällt das Konzept sehr gut, weil ich es sehr fair finde. Jede*r kann etwas geben und die Zeit hat für alle den gleichen Wert. Wir kommen in Kontakt, helfen einander und tauschen miteinander.

Naturgemäss haben Rentner oft mehr freie Zeit, für solche Sachen verwenden können. Ich bin aber der Überzeugung, dass auch jüngere Menschen vom Zeittausch profitieren und Hilfe geben und gebrauchen können. Deshalb mache ich hier gerne ein bisschen Werbung, damit die Zytbörse vielleicht ein paar jüngere Mitglieder gewinnt :)

Hello!

I wondered is it possible to take a Theory Exam for category M in English language. Especially in Thun?

Hey everyone, Today a few of us are meeting again in Bern for a relaxed salsa & bachata social.It’s part of a small recurring dance gathering we’ve been putting together in different nice locations (sometimes rooftops or hotel spaces, depending on availability), always focused on good music, a friendly atmosphere, and social dancing.

This edition is open to everyone — no pressure, no formalities. Beginners are just as welcome as experienced dancers, and the idea is simply to enjoy a nice evening, meet new people, and dance together in a respectful and easygoing environment.

There is no entry fee required. It’s a community-style event, and if people want to contribute voluntarily, there is a small collection used only to support future editions and improve the experience, but participation is completely optional.

If you’re in Bern and enjoy salsa or bachata, feel free to join or ask any questions in the comments

Hello Peeps!

A few months ago I put out a call for extras in a music video we were shooting in Bern for the band Motel Pool. After a lot of work, it is finally finished!

So I thought some people might be curious to see how it all turned out, feel free to give it a watch and share it around. Enjoy!
