Bantiger TV Tower

The Bantiger TV Tower is a concrete broadcasting tower on Bantiger mountain in Bolligen that transmits television and radio signals across the region. The structure rises prominently from the mountainside with a solid concrete shaft supporting its transmission equipment.

Construction began in 1991 to replace a previous 100-meter radio tower dating from 1954, with the new tower completed and inaugurated in 1997. This replacement modernized the transmission facilities for the expanding broadcasting needs of that era.

From its observation platform at 33 meters, visitors experience views of the Canton of Bern and learn about Swiss broadcasting infrastructure.

The observation deck is reached by climbing stairs within an attached lattice tower structure since the facility has no elevators. Visitors should prepare for an extended stairway climb and check that the site has seasonal access limitations.

Located at an elevation of 941 meters above sea level, this concrete tower managed by Swisscom combines broadcasting functions with public access features.
