In Bern

One canton holding two non-overlapping markets. Bern is the federal capital and runs on a business rhythm; the Bernese Oberland — Gstaad, Interlaken, Grindelwald — has two seasons and a different set of counterparts. BFS treats them as two separate tourism regions, which matters when reconciling figures.

Seasonality
Two peaks: Dec–Mar and Jul–Aug
Access
The canton runs on two transport regimes. Bern and Thun sit on the trunk network; the Oberland is end-of-line branches changing at Interlaken or Zweisimmen, and Wengen and Mürren have no road access at all.
