Flying into Bern Airport for a ski holiday
Bern Airport (BRN), also known as Bern-Belp, is a smaller gateway south of the Swiss capital. BERNMOBIL bus 160 connects the airport with Belp railway station, where the onward Swiss rail itinerary begins. Adelboden uses Frutigen and a valley bus; Grindelwald, Wengen and Mürren use the Interlaken region, while Gstaad follows the Simmental rail corridor. The airport is separate from Bern main station. Before choosing it for a ski holiday, check that a flight is actually available for the date and that the airport first leg fits the onward connection. When choosing an arrival time, you can compare flights to Bern Airport and check whether it leaves enough time for the last coach or train into the mountains.
Winter travel
Wengen and Mürren cannot be reached by an ordinary rental car. Road transport stops at the valley hub, with mountain transport and a hotel connection completing arrival.
