Forellensee Zweisimmen invites you to the annual classic car Pentecost Meet. This year's theme is a tribute to the two great Swiss racing drivers Heini Walter and Herbert Müller. The highlight is the exhibition of a Porsche 906 racing car of the same type as the one in which Herbert Müller won the 1966 "Targa Florio" world championship race ... today one of the rarest and most valuable cars of all.

Popular excursion destination

Forellensee Zweisimmen is a popular excursion destination in the Bernese Oberland. Host Daniel "Mü" Müller has always paid particular attention to guests from the classic car and motorcycle world, and not without good reason: as the son of the great Swiss racing driver Herbert Müller, known as "Stumpen-Herbie", he quite simply has petrol in his blood, was himself a successful racing driver, classic car collector, motorcycle fan and goes full throttle in life all round.

Two Swiss motorsport legends

The traditional Whitsun MEET has a firm place in the national classic car calendar. All owners of vintage cars or motorcycles and other motorsport enthusiasts are invited, no registration required.
