At aareschlauchboot.ch, you’ll find all the professional water sports equipment you need to have fun in and on the water, whether you’re just chilling out, enjoying the sun or splashing around. Get together with your family or friends, jump into a boat, a Septi Pus (an inflatable boat with tentacles), a kayak or a tube and discover the River Aare from a completely different perspective. The motto is: “Relax, paddle and enjoy nature.” There are two different sections of the river to follow: the classic one from Thun (Uttigen) to Bern and the quieter, slower but equally beautiful one between Worblaufen and Eymatt. Both start and finish just a stone’s throw from Bern main station.
