Bantiger TV Tower

Bantiger TV Tower is a 196 metre tall tower used for FM- and TV-transmission at 46.97778°N, 7.52861°W on the Bantiger mountain, a mountain east of Bern situated in the municipality of Bolligen. The Bantiger TV Tower was built between 1991 and 1996 as replacement of a 100 metres tall radio tower, built in 1954. Bantiger TV Tower, which was inaugurated in 1997 has a public observation deck in a height of 33.7 metres. In contrast to most other observation decks on TV towers, there is no elevator for visitors access. The access to the deck goes via a stairway, which is not inside the tower, but in a lattice tower attached to the towers main structure.
