What to expect of this region
Even though the landscape is relatively flat, this is Switzerland, so there are still 'peaks' of almost 1000 m high. The city of Bern is the main point of interest for tourists in this region, and absolutely worth a visit, but of course there's much more to see. If you want to visit the Alps, then you best base yourself somewhere else, like in the nearby Bernese Oberland.
