Biel/Bienne

Biel is the only Swiss town where French and German are genuinely used interchangeably in the same conversation, and that extends to coaching: most of our coaches here switch mid-sentence without thinking about it. If you want to train in one language and are used to being pushed into the other, this is the easiest place in Switzerland to get what you asked for.

The lake is small and warm, the Jura rises immediately behind the town, and the flat Seeland stretches north. Three completely different training surfaces within ten minutes of the station.
