Bernese Alps

Conquer the challenging Bernese Alps tracks in Forza Horizon 2! Get expert tips and strategies for Festival Circuit, Stadplatz, and Club Circuit.

Alright, so you've made it to the Bernese Alps in Forza Horizon 2. This area's got some seriously scenic routes, but don't let the views fool you – these tracks can be tricky. We're talking about a few different layouts here, including the Festival Circuit, Stadplatz, and Club Circuit, plus their reverse versions. Let's break down how to nail these.

Festival Circuit

This is your main playground here, a beefy 3.63-mile loop that winds through the mountains. It's got a bit of everything: hills, a tunnel carved into the mountainside, and even a cool figure-eight section with a bridge and an underpass. The key here is managing your speed through those elevation changes and the tighter sections.

Strategy for Festival Circuit:

You'll start off accelerating, but that first turn comes up fast. You won't need to brake too hard since you're not going super fast yet. After that, you'll blast under a short overpass. At the end of that little straight, there's a left-hand turn. Ease off the gas a bit and start turning from the inside; this lets you take it wider and carry more speed. You'll then hit a short downhill straight, followed by a small curve and then a big one. Seriously slow down for this major curve – hug the inside as much as you can because there's not much room to drift out. After that, you get a brief chance to speed up before another turn. Slow down just a touch for that one, then you can really put the hammer down heading towards the tunnel. Right after exiting the tunnel, there's a medium-sized turn. You'll probably be going pretty fast, so again, aim for the inside and then drift out wide to keep your momentum. Next up are a couple of quick turns, a mild left then a right. Don't slow down too much, just enough to keep it smooth. Then comes a long straightaway, perfect for picking up speed. After that, you'll hit a mild S-turn, followed by a sharp left that demands some serious braking. Take this one right on the inside. Finally, another high-speed straight will lead you straight to the finish line. Remember, smooth inputs are key on these mountain roads.

Stadplatz

This track is pretty similar in size and shape to the Festival Circuit, but it throws in some town driving and even crosses over itself. It's 3.08 miles long and features one significant hill.

Strategy for Stadplatz:

The main difference here from the full track layout is that you'll skip the tunnel section. Instead of going through it, you'll just cut straight around the outside. That's the only major change you need to worry about.

Club Circuit

This 2.52-mile track looks like a wacky infinity symbol, with a section where it loops around inside itself. It's a bit tighter and more technical than the others.

Festival Circuit Reverse, Stadplatz Reverse, Club Circuit Reverse

These are exactly what they sound like – the same tracks as their regular counterparts, just driven in the opposite direction. The lines and braking points will be completely different, so be ready to adapt!
