Six Checkpoints
In 2023 there were six checkpoints that were to be passed in a given order. Start and finish in Burgdorf and all checkpoints are located in the canton of Bern.
Checkpoint 1
Kemmeriboden-Bad
The first checkpoint brings us from Burgdorf to Kemmeriboden-Bad, located around 50 km away from Burgdorf. In the heart of the Emmental and surrounded by mountains, the popular destination and traditional house, which was unfortunately hit by a severe storm in July 2022, will welcome us.
Checkpoint 2
Schwarzwaldalp
The Schwarzwaldalp lies in the Rosenlauivalley between Meiringen and the Große Scheidegg at 1500 meters above sea level. Our second checkpoint is at the Chalet-Hotel Scharzwaldalp, which offers an impressive view on the surrounding Alps.
Checkpoint 3
Hahnenmoos
A breathtaking mountain scenery awaits you after a long and intense climb on the Hahnenmoospass, which connects Adelboden and Lenk and lies at an altitude of about 1960 m above sea level.
Checkpoint 4
Schloss Münchenwiler
Our fourth checkpoint leads us to the beautiful Münchenwiler Castle. The castle is the landmark of the Bernese municipality of the same name, which is surrounded by the canton of Fribourg in the Lake Murten area.
Checkpoint 5
Schelten
The fifth checkpoint is located at 950 m.a.s.l. in the Bernese Jura. Family Zemp welcomes us to their organic farm Obere Muolte in Schelten. Schelten is the northernmost community of the canton of Bern and has less than 50 inhabitants.
Checkpoint 6
Wynigenberge
A small detour shortly before the finish line leads you to family Flückiger's farm in Lünisberg. The Wynigenberge form the scenic transition between Emmental and Oberaargau and enchant with their lovely landscape and beautiful farmhouses.
