Bern, Switzerland (PG City)

The Flight Experience Bern offers one of the most aesthetically pleasing low-altitude flights in Europe. As the de facto capital of Switzerland, the city is built on a high ridge inside a tight, horseshoe-shaped bend of the Aare River. In the simulator, the World Update VI (DACH) photogrammetry captures this dramatic geography perfectly. The contrast between the medieval sandstone buildings of the UNESCO-listed Old Town, the striking turquoise water of the river, and the rolling green hills of the Swiss Plateau creates a scene that feels like a living model village. It is a dense, compact city that demands slow flight to truly appreciate the verticality of the bridges spanning the river gorge.

Bern Airport (LSZB) Known locally as Bern-Belp, this regional airport is situated in the Aare valley, just southeast of the city.

• The Vibe: It is the quintessential "boutique" airport. While it sees occasional charter jets and government flights, it is primarily a haven for General Aviation.

• The Strip: The main runway (14/32) is 1,730m long—plenty for a PC-12 or a CJ4, but tight for a fully loaded A320.

• The Approach: The approach is notoriously scenic and slightly tricky. The airport sits in a "bowl," surrounded by hills (the Belpberg). The glideslope feels steeper than usual due to the surrounding terrain, and fog often settles in the valley floor during autumn morning flights.

Visual Highlights

• The Aare Loop: This is the defining feature of the city. The river creates a sharp "U" shape around the Old Town. From the air, this natural moat makes navigation effortless; you simply find the peninsula where the roofs are densest and the river wraps around it.

• The Bundeshaus (Federal Palace): The seat of the Swiss government and parliament. Look for the massive copper-green central dome and the two side wings. It sits right on the edge of the cliff overlooking the river, making it the most dominant landmark on the skyline.

• Bern Minster (Münster): Located in the heart of the Old Town, this Gothic cathedral boasts the tallest spire in Switzerland (100m). In the sim, the intricate open-work of the spire is well-rendered, acting as a needle referencing the city center.

• Stade de Suisse (Wankdorf Stadium): Northeast of the center, this modern stadium (built for Euro 2008) stands out with its solar-paneled roof. It marks the transition from the historic core to the modern commercial district.

• The Gurten: A large hill directly south of the city. It features a lookout tower and hotel at the summit. It serves as a critical VFR barrier; you must fly around or over it to set up your approach into the airport from the west.

Pilot’s Note: The "Diplomat's Shuttle" For a realistic and challenging short-hop, simulate a VIP government transfer. Depart Zurich (LSZH) and fly the short 20-minute hop southwest to Bern. The Challenge: Don't just fly the ILS. Cancel IFR as you reach the city outskirts and fly the Visual Approach Runway 14. You will fly parallel to the Gurten hill, dropping into the valley. You must manage your energy carefully to bleed off speed while descending into the "hole" of the valley floor, aiming to touch down smoothly on the asphalt strip nestled between the cornfields and the river.
