Six Checkpoints
In 2025 there are six checkpoints that have to be passed in a given order. Start and finish is in Burgdorf and all checkpoints are located in the canton of Bern.
Checkpoint 1
Oberaargau
The first checkpoint on the way to the Bernese Jura takes us to the Ahorn-Alp in the Napfberg region, which lies on the border between the cantons of Bern and Lucerne. Our checkpoint there is at the Ahornalp restaurant, from where you have a wonderful view over the Swiss Mittelland and into the Alps.
Checkpoint 3
Ottenleuebad
This year we will again visit the Gantrisch region. The Gantrisch region is located in the Bern – Thun – Fribourg triangle and is a popular destination for hiking and cycling. Our checkpoint is located in Ottenleuebad at the restaurant "Bi üs Deheim".
Checkpoint 5
Hasliberg
This year, our fifth checkpoint is located in the middle of the Meiringen-Hasliberg region above the Mägisalp. The Seemad alpine hut is no longer used as an alpine hut, but can be rented as a ski and hiking hut. It is situated at over 1,700 meters above sea level.
Checkpoint 6
Bern
With Veloplus, we have a great new sponsor on board. Our last checkpoint takes us to the Veloplus location in Ostermundigen. From there, we head back to Burgdorf on a finisher parcours.
