Tip by

13.3 km

The Chutze marks the highest point on the eleven-kilometer-long Belpberg ridge between the Aare and Gürbe valleys. Despite its modest altitude (892 meters), it offers a phenomenal 360° panoramic view – of the Bernese Alps, Emmental, Jura, and often as far as the Aare valley.

✳️ Sights & Refreshments
- Remains of the 12th-century Hohburg castle ruins, accessible above the path to the Chutzen.
- Restaurant Chutzen (at 887 meters) directly at the viewpoint – regional cuisine, terrace with an Alpine view, usually open Wednesday to Sunday until 10:00 PM.
- Memorial stone for John F. Kennedy in remembrance of Hungarian freedom aspirations, discreetly placed at the highest point.

Great trails, rough but manageable climbs. Again and again views of the Alps and the Central Plateau.

Sädelbank – View of Gerzensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

At this vantage point, the staggering of the landscape is particularly appealing, the view over the undulating moraine landscape with the Gerzensee, which extends to Lake Thun - and the whole thing framed by the Prealps with the Niesen as the dominating mountain.
