Parking Breitenrain-Lorraine, Bern

For parking in Breitenrain-Lorraine, compare blue-zone street bays and nearby car parks with an available option you can pre-book on Mobypark. This is useful when a short-stay space may not suit your visit or you want to avoid searching on arrival.

Bookable private parking in Breitenrain-Lorraine

Mobypark makes private spaces that owners do not actively use available to drivers, including hotel parking, office-building spaces, private driveways and unused garages. Check the location, access instructions, vehicle limits and booking times before setting off, then compare the available option with Bern’s public parking rules.

Blue-zone street parking in Breitenrain-Lorraine

Blue-zone bays are generally free for up to one hour with a correctly set parking disc. The standard controlled period is Monday to Saturday from 08:00 to 19:00. Set the disc to the next half-hour mark after arrival; arriving at 08:10 means setting it to 08:30.

Outside the controlled period, you do not need to display the disc if you leave before 08:00. If you stay beyond 08:00, set the disc correctly and leave by 09:00. Do not extend the stay by changing the arrival time without moving the vehicle. The one-hour limit makes blue-zone parking unsuitable for most longer visits.

Känzeli Lorraine parking for short stays

Känzeli Lorraine, at Altenbergrain 23, offers public parking close to the Lorrainebrücke. It costs CHF 2.20 per hour, allows a maximum stay of three hours and is free between 19:00 and 07:00. Overnight parking is not allowed, even during the free period. Payment can be made with Swiss coins, TWINT or EasyPark.

For a stay longer than three hours, Mobypark provides a pre-bookable private alternative where an available listing matches your dates, helping you avoid relying on a short-stay public bay.

Longer-stay and overnight parking near Breitenrain-Lorraine

Parking Breitenrainstrasse has 35 spaces and is open around the clock; check the displayed tariff and restrictions before entering. Larger Bern car parks can be more suitable for a full day: Metro Parking charges CHF 4.40 for the first hour, while Rathaus Parking charges CHF 4.00 for one hour, CHF 8.00 for two hours and CHF 33.00 for 24 hours.

For multi-hour, full-day or overnight parking, Mobypark is another option when you prefer to reserve a private space before driving to Breitenrain-Lorraine rather than search for an open public space.

Visitor parking cards and permits in Bern’s blue zones

Visitors can buy a four-hour card for CHF 9.00 or a 24-hour card for CHF 16.00 for appropriately signed blue-zone areas. These cards apply to parking-disc zones, not to separately charged parking bays such as Känzeli Lorraine.

Residents and businesses use separate parking cards, with eligibility linked to the relevant address or business. Always check the signs on the street: a visitor card does not override a paid-space tariff, maximum stay or other restriction.

Parking penalties in Breitenrain-Lorraine

Parking beyond the permitted time can result in a CHF 40 fine for up to two hours over the limit, CHF 60 for more than two but no more than four hours, and CHF 100 for more than four but no more than ten hours. More than ten hours over the limit can lead to ordinary proceedings instead of a fixed penalty.

A missing or poorly displayed parking disc or ticket, an incorrect arrival time, changing the disc without moving the vehicle, or re-parking in the same street without rejoining traffic can each result in a CHF 40 fine.
