Ligerz

Ligerz is best known within Switzerland for its terraced vineyards, which run down the northern shore of Lake Biel. In Bern’s Seeland, this German-speaking municipality sits between the water and the wooded slopes of the Jura, with rows of vines held by stone retaining walls. Winegrowing is central to local life, and Chasselas is among the grapes cultivated here. The Ligerz–Tessenberg funicular, in service since 1912, climbs from the lakeside village to Prêles on the Tessenberg plateau. Paths through the vines link the settlement to the lakeshore and wider Jura foothills. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Ligerz and the Bernese Seeland.
