Bern is a small, peaceful community with wide-open horizons and a strong sense of heritage, shaped by the Swiss settlers who first farmed these hills. Set in Bear Lake County, residents enjoy adventures at Bear Lake State Park, from sandy beaches to boating and fishing. Trails lace the nearby Caribou-Targhee National Forest, where summer wildflowers and fall foliage reward hikers and riders. Birders flock to Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge near Paris to spot sandhill cranes and waterfowl. For regional history, the National Oregon/California Trail Center brings the pioneer route to life nearby. Scenic drives toward Bloomington lead to alpine lakes and quiet canyon picnics.
Families in Bern are served by Bear Lake School District #33, with bus routes connecting rural homes to classrooms in Montpelier. Healthcare is close by at Bear Lake Memorial Hospital, and everyday needs are met in neighboring towns while you come home to starry skies and unhurried roads.
