Canton of Solothurn

The varied and beautiful landscape of Solothurn invites outdoor enthusiasts to be active outdoors. The mountains of the Jura offer ideal conditions for long hikes and challenging mountain bike tours. In the Central Plateau, there are also leisurely routes where families with children and pleasure cyclists can get their money's worth.

In winter, ski tourers and cross-country skiers can look forward to snow-sure cross-country ski trails and beautiful mountain hikes in the Jura mountains.

The old town of Solothurn was built between the 16th and 18th centuries. Here, visitors can marvel at architecture from different eras, with baroque buildings being particularly impressive. Solothurn's landmark is the Cathedral of St. Ursus. Numerous shops, restaurants and cafés invite you to spend a day in the old town. You can enjoy great views of the river Aare, which divides the city into a southern and a northern district. Theatres, museums and cultural centres round off the cultural offerings in Solothurn.
