Olten

The landscape around Olten is defined by the Aare valley and wooded Jura foothills, which have shaped both the town’s compact form and its transport-based economy. Set between Basel, Bern and Zurich, Olten grew into one of Switzerland’s key rail junctions and remains closely identified with the movement of people and goods across the country. Its old town occupies the riverbank beneath the hills, where the covered wooden bridge over the Aare, rebuilt in 1803, is a familiar local landmark.
