Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Espace Mittelland
Espace Mittelland — a region worth exploring
Espace Mittelland stretches across the Swiss Plateau between the Jura mountains and the Bernese Alps, making it the country's largest region by population and one of its most varied landscapes for touring by road. The federal capital, Bern, sits at its heart — a UNESCO World Heritage city whose medieval old town and 6 km of covered arcades draw visitors year-round. From Bern, it is roughly 30 km south to the shores of Lake Thun, where the water meets the foothills of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massif. Head north-west and within 70 km you reach the bilingual city of Biel/Bienne on the edge of Lake Biel, a gateway to the Jura wine route and the Taubenloch Gorge. The terrain across Espace Mittelland is largely gentle and well-suited to both campervans and larger motorhomes, with wide, well-maintained roads connecting lakeside towns, rolling farmland, and the famous Emmental valley — home to the original Emmentaler cheese dairies. Smaller roads wind through villages like Burgdorf, whose hilltop castle dates to the 12th century, and Solothurn, often called the finest Baroque town in Switzerland. Whether you want a short lakeside break or a longer loop into the alpine foothills, Yescapa connects you with local owners across the region who share their campervans and motorhomes for hire, giving you the flexibility to pick up a vehicle close to where your trip begins.
Best time to visit
Espace Mittelland is enjoyable from late spring through to autumn. May and June bring warm days ideal for exploring the Emmental valley and lakeside towns before the summer rush. The Gurtenfestival, held on Bern's Gurten hill each July, is one of Switzerland's biggest open-air music events and a great reason to plan a campervan trip around that time. August and September offer settled weather for drives towards the Bernese Alps. Booking through Yescapa during shoulder months like May or September often means better availability and more competitive peer-to-peer pricing across Espace Mittelland. Reserve your motorhome a few weeks ahead for summer dates to secure the best choice of vehicles.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Espace Mittelland
Switzerland requires a motorway vignette (currently CHF 40) for all vehicles using its national motorways, including campervans and motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are subject to the LSVA heavy vehicle charge instead. On Espace Mittelland's motorways, the speed limit for motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes is 120 km/h, dropping to 100 km/h on semi-motorways and 80 km/h on secondary roads. Heavier motorhomes are limited to 80 km/h on motorways. Rest areas with services are well spaced along the A1 and A6, the main routes through the region. Tunnels on approaches to the Bernese Oberland may have height restrictions, so check your vehicle dimensions before setting off.
Frequently asked questions
Prices on Yescapa for a campervan or motorhome in Espace Mittelland typically start from around €90–€130 per night, depending on the vehicle type, season, and how far ahead you book. Because Yescapa is a peer-to-peer platform, you hire directly from local owners, which often works out more affordable than traditional hire companies. Compact campervans tend to sit at the lower end, while larger motorhomes with full facilities cost a bit more.
Through Yescapa, you can arrange to collect a motorhome directly from owners based across Espace Mittelland. Bern is the most common pick-up area, but you will also find vehicles listed near Thun, Biel/Bienne, and Solothurn. This means you can start your trip close to the part of the region you want to explore first, saving time and fuel rather than doubling back from a single depot.
The best way to keep costs down is to book through Yescapa during shoulder season — May, June, or September — when peer-to-peer prices across Espace Mittelland tend to be lower and availability is wider. Use the platform's filters to compare campervans and motorhomes by price, and look for owners offering weekly discounts. Booking a few weeks in advance also helps you secure the most competitive rates.
For couples or solo travellers, a compact campervan with two berths is easy to manoeuvre through Espace Mittelland's smaller Emmental villages and lakeside towns. Families or groups of four to six are usually more comfortable in a larger motorhome with a fixed bed and dining area. On Yescapa you can filter by number of berths and vehicle size, so you can match the right vehicle to your group and your planned route.
Yes — a number of owners on Yescapa in Espace Mittelland welcome pets on board. You can filter listings for dog-friendly vehicles when searching the platform. The region is a great choice for travelling with dogs, as many lakeside and rural campsites allow pets, and there are plenty of walking trails through the Emmental hills and along the shores of Lake Thun and Lake Biel.
