Courtelary

Courtelary is located in the Bernese Jura mountains, around 20 km northwest of Biel. The historic center contains well-preserved buildings from the 18th century and narrow streets. This gives the town an inviting atmosphere. The medieval castle of Courtelary dates back to the 13th century and is the former residence of the bailiffs of Erguel. The Camille Bloch chocolate factory is located in Courtelary. The surrounding area consists of wooded areas, rivers and picturesque landscapes. They are all ideal for discovering nature, hiking and cycling.

“The castle was much bigger inside than expected, with amazing history and stunning artefacts. It was a great time of year to visit, not too crowded, and the whole experience was interesting. Walking where people walked hundreds of years ago felt humbling.”
