Major

Switzerland

St-Imier est une gare dans le district du Jura bernois dans le canton de Berne, desservant l'un des principaux centres de l'horlogerie suisse dans la longue Vallée de Saint-Imier dans le massif du Jura. Les services régionaux sur la ligne BLS relient St-Imier à Biel/Bienne au nord et à La Chaux-de-Fonds par le col de la Tête-de-Ran, reliant ainsi les villes horlogères les plus importantes du Jura suisse. La vallée est associée à la Fédération jurassienne anarchiste, et le musée de la montre de la ville témoigne du patrimoine horloger séculaire de la région.
