Emmentaler Cheese Route

Welcome to the Emmental Cheese Route! Here you will learn many interesting things about the centuries-old tradition of cheese production. You will visit Jeremias Gotthelf in Lützelflüh, and Burgdorf Castle will make you feel like royalty! What's more, you will discover the Affoltern Show Cheese Dairy. If you hire a FLYER e-bike you can easily complete the short tour (approx. 35 kilometres) or even the long tour (78 kilometres) in a day trip. Please bring your own optional trailer for children. You can find your way using a map which includes your current position, and you can use the GPS function on your smartphone or a hired GPS device to discover the many points of interest on the different tours (11 on the short tour, 21 on the long tour) and enjoy spectacular views with images, text and sound. Other interesting information will also help you plan your trip. And the younger visitors on the cheese route can earn themselves a Detective Diploma in a quiz with Emma the detective cow. Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
