Bantiger

Bantiger is a mountain in Switzerland standing at about 947 meters and offers views across Bern, the Aare River, and the Gurbetal valley extending to the Alps. Multiple hiking routes depart from Kobirain, each with different difficulty levels and terrain types.

The mountain served as a defensive position in medieval times and later became an important reference point for Swiss cartography. This dual role shows how long the site has held significance in how people viewed and mapped their landscape.

The hiking paths on the mountain serve as meeting points for people from the region who regularly walk together. Families use the different routes to experience nature and get to know the landscape around them.

Hikes start best from Kobirain, with trails available for all fitness levels. There is a vending machine near the summit area for refreshments and snacks.

At the summit stands a telecommunications tower featuring an observation platform that extends views even further across the surrounding landscape. This platform offers a raised vantage point for surveying the entire area.
