The Aare is a clean, rapidly flowing river,
suitable for good swimmers only. During summer, when the
water temperature is relatively high, thousands of
revellers walk along the river, enter the water upstream
and let themselves drift downstream towards the Camping
Eichholz or the City of Berne.
Please note: There are no Lifeguards and you are
entering the water on your own risk!
There are 25 km of the Aare, between Thun and
the Camping Eichholz (or the City of Berne respectively)
that are suitable for canyoneing and rafting by inflatable
boats. If you would like to avoid the inherent risk of
going on your own, you might want to join a rafting trip,
organised by one of our partners
