The Canton of Berne is ideal not just as a business location, but also as a place to live. Berne combines a high quality of life with safety. A wide variety of leisure activities, with museums, concerts, theatre, open-air performances and international sporting events make the Canton of Berne a unique location. In less than an hour you can be skiing in the Bernese Alps (e.g. Top of Europe, Jungfrau Region) or sailing on one of the magnificent lakes in the Bernese Oberland or Biel-Seeland. The Jura’s gently rolling hills invite you to ramble or go cross-country skiing. The City of Berne is included in UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage List, and the Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region is listed as UNESCO Natural Heritage. Famous holiday destinations such as Grindelwald, Interlaken or Gstaad are to be found in the Canton. International schools, associations, clubs, church services in foreign languages, and much else besides, make life easier for expatriate staff in Berne, so that they feel almost at ease here as at home.
