Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Espace Mittelland
Espace Mittelland — a region worth exploring
Espace Mittelland stretches across the heart of Switzerland, connecting the Jura mountains in the north to the foothills of the Bernese Alps in the south, and its capital city Bern holds UNESCO World Heritage status for its remarkably preserved medieval old town. The region covers roughly 5,000 square kilometres and includes some of the country's most varied landscapes — from the rolling farmland of the Emmental valley to the shores of Lake Thun and Lake Biel. Bern to Interlaken is just 56 km, making it easy to shift from city sightseeing to lakeside relaxation in under an hour. Heading west, the 50 km drive from Bern to the bilingual city of Biel/Bienne takes you through gentle countryside dotted with traditional Swiss farmsteads. Key attractions include the Zytglogge clock tower in Bern, the open-air museum at Ballenberg near Brienz, and the dramatic St. Beatus Caves along Lake Thun. The Emmental valley, famous worldwide for its cheese, offers quiet roads winding past wooden chalets and covered bridges — ideal terrain for a campervan at your own pace. Wider motorhome routes connect easily through the region's well-maintained road network, with plenty of designated overnight stops along the way. Through Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners based across Espace Mittelland, choosing from a range of campervans and motorhomes that suit your travel style and group size perfectly.
Best time to visit
Espace Mittelland is a rewarding destination from spring through to autumn. May and June bring wildflower meadows and comfortable temperatures, perfect for exploring the Emmental valley by campervan. Summer is peak season, with events like the Gurtenfestival in Bern each July drawing music fans from across Europe. Autumn offers golden foliage around Lake Thun and Lake Biel, plus quieter roads. Booking through Yescapa during shoulder months often means better availability and more competitive hire prices from local owners. For winter travellers, Espace Mittelland's lower-altitude routes remain accessible, and Christmas markets in Bern add seasonal charm.

We had a great time in the motorhome. Jean Pierre was very friendly and professional. We were shown how everything works before setting off. We would definitely recommend hiring this vehicle. Jean Pierre only speaks French but with the aid of a translator app and his son it worked out absolutely fine. Thanks again Jean-Pierre.
