The Gurten is not lacking in culinary variety
Festival-goers grab a bite to eat before Stormzy sets the main stage alight at 8.15 pm, making it difficult to move between the various stages.
We took a look around and asked what the festival visitors were having for dinner. And: the variety is huge, there's probably something from all over the world.

Bright summer weather is forecast for the four days of the festival. The climb up the Bernese Hauberg could therefore make festival fans sweat profusely in temperatures of over thirty degrees. So don't forget to drink!

From July 17 to 20, thousands of music fans will climb Bern's local mountain in the federal city.
