Activity description

If you're looking for a relaxing time on the river Aare and its turquoise waters, then go kayaking for a few hours in the middle of lush vegetation. Do as the locals do and drift down the river from Thun to Berne, the Swiss capital!

Kayaks accommodate one or two people, so it is possible to share the experience and to cross a beautiful landscape with someone else.

The inflatable kayaks are open and very resistant to tipping. They are the best way to enjoy an easy ride on the water. You can definitely choose to stay dry for this adventure! This activity is therefore very suitable for practicing with children. Just think of your swimsuits if you want to cool off and swim a little.

The Aare has a strong current that allows you not to paddle constantly, you just have to manage the direction with your partner on the kayak!

You embark at Uttigen near Thun. The best way to get there is by train and you'll find the water base is right next to the train station. Once embarked you'll follow the current of the Aare for 18 kilometers to Wabern near Bern, at Camping Eichholz where you will return your equipment. Why not combine this adventure with a visit of the beautiful old town of Berne?

Relax on the kayak, have a picnic by the water in the sun... good life ahead!
