Your campervan comes with an awning, camping table and two chairs to enjoy the space outside of your vehicle. The kitchen box allows you to save money on eating out: you’ve got all the pots, pans, and utensils to cook up your own meals. There’s even a corkscrew and bottle opener, and a coffee pot, plus mugs for your morning coffee or tea, although you’ll want to bring dish towels, sponges, and eco-friendly dish soap. When you rent a small motorhome from Bern you will need to bring your own bedding, or you can hire what you need from the station. Full details of what’s included and our suggestions on what to bring along to your Bern campervan holiday can be found in the equipment list.
The best time to hire a campervan in Bern is during spring and summer when the landscape flourishes with blooming flowers. It is also the best season to swim in Switzerland’s clear mountain lakes and try out outdoor activities. Just be aware that the weather can still be unpredictable in March. After that, however, it gets steadily warmer and sunnier. Campsites can be fully booked in high summer, so it’s advisable to book early.
A road trip from Bern is also worthwhile in autumn. The landscape is bathed in beautiful autumn colours, there are fewer tourists, and pleasant temperatures ensure that even the toughest hiking route is now bearable. The weather can be unpredictable, and it may already be getting chilly, so you should pack a few extra layers of clothing.
If you’re a fan of winter activities such as skiing or snowboarding, winter is also a good time for you to travel to Bern. Switzerland is known for its great winter sports opportunities. In colder weather, many campsites might be closed, but there are options to switch to other campsites such as private pitches and camping sites from roadsurfer spots.
You’ll want to fill up the fresh water tank of your campervan rental at the beginning of your trip, and empty your grey water at the end. The best place to do this is at your campsite if they offer these services.
