Activity description

Summer is here and you're looking for a cool water sport activity for your holiday? Then grab an inflatable ring and float down the Aare like the locals do.

Experience the crystal-clear waters of the Aare and the beautiful scenery that passes by during your tubing adventure. Aaretubing is most fun when you do it with friends. Everyone sits in their own ring and does what they want. The rings turn with you and let you enjoy the ride to the full.

You can get on board in Uttigen near Thun, where you will be equipped with a life jacket and ring. Then let yourself drift on the Aare for about 18 kilometres (2.5 hours) to Wabern near Bern. Thanks to the regular current, you don't even have to paddle - you can just relax and enjoy the ride.

You get off at Camping Eichholz, where you can hand in your equipment. Then you have the choice of either taking the train back to Thun (Camping Eichholz is right next to the station) or taking a tour of the Swiss capital, Bern.

All you have to do is jump into the fresh water and let yourself float down the Aare on your ring. Along the way you can take breaks, picnic in the sun or just relax... life can be so beautiful!

Offer Description

You can choose any time for your rental and enjoy a refreshing moment.

All equipment must be returned in Bern at 6pm maximum.

Activity requirements

Participant must know how to swim.

Special terms

To return, simply disembark from the boat upon arrival, where someone will be present to assist you and provide guidance. Alternatively, you have the following options:

- Take a scenic walk of approximately 30 minutes to Bern Train Station. From there, you can board a train directly to the office located at Uttigen train station.

- If you prefer, you can extend your swim a bit further and then proceed with a 10-minute walk to reach the train station. This option combines a 10-minute swim followed by a 10-minute walk, leading you back to either Bern or Interlaken.

- Another possibility is to walk a short distance to Tram Station Wabern, which only takes a couple of minutes. The tram will then transport you to Bern Station.
