Join us for a hike with the forever community, the alumni network of foraus.

We will meet at Biel/Bienne station and take the funicular up to Magglingen, where we can enjoy the stunning views. From there, we will hike over the Twannberg/Mont Douanne, stop for a picnic, and continue towards the Twannbachschlucht/Gorges de Douanne. We will follow the river through the beautiful gorge until we reach the shores of Lake Biel/Bienne. At the lake, we can either go for a swim or sample some local wines before heading back.

If the weather is bad, we will meet anyway and follow an alternative program.

Meeting Point: Square in front of the train station Biel/Bienne at 10:45

What to bring: All you need for a small hike, picnic for lunch and your swimsuit

Costs: You pay for yourself. The fee for the funicular is around 8 CHF and can be bought via the SBB app (included in the GA). For the Twannbachschlucht/Gorges de Douanne, there is a visitor’s fee of 2 CHF (payable by cash or TWINT).

Registration: Please register here.
