In contrast to Germany, France and Italy, at end of April the Swiss government was opening up much of the country. As the weaker population is almost fully vaccinated the Covid cases have been declining or are stable. Recently we have hardly had any more death due to Covid.

Restaurants are allowed to serve customers outside of their premises. The view here is from the sun terrace of the restaurant Marbachegg at 1500m. The background offers a view of the impressive mountain ridge called Schrattenfluh (2000m).

The Marbachegg is a 10’ ride by cable care. Public transport from Bern takes 55’ to get to Marbach where you can purchase the ticket and get your ride up. It is a great area for skying in winter or hiking during the rest of the year.
