Bern BearsPhotographs of Bern bears, Switzerland
The existing Bern Bear Pits have been in the same location since 1857. In 1995/96 most areas of the Bear Pits underwent renovation with the aim of providing the bears with a habitat more naturally suited to them. Nowadays the Bear Pits house two Pyrenean brown bears (Pedro and Tana - photo above). The bears are out in the open every day: in summer time from 09.30 to 17.00 hours in winter time from 09.30 to 16.30 hours Bern Bear Park: The existing Bear Pits are to be turned into a Bear Park. The project was launched in April 2003 and aims to create two bear enclosures measuring over 10 000 m2 in which the bears will be able to be outdoors all day throughout the year (in winter caves)."Bear food" for visitors to give to the bears is available at the Bear Pits. The cost is estimated at approximately 7 million Swiss francs.Bärengraben Tel. +41 (0)31 328 12 12 Web: www.berninfo.com Directions: from main train station take bus no. 12 to "Bärengraben" stop Bern has bears everywhere!
