Join us as we take a relaxing float down the Aare River in Bern, Switzerland. Learn how to stay safe and enjoy this beautiful experience in the heart of the city! Urban swimming in the heart of Switzerland? Say no more!
Switzerland isn't just about snow-blanketed peaks or summer Alpine treks. When the sun's rays turn the quaint streets of Bern into a tapestry of golden hues, locals know exactly how to beat the heat. No, it's not about hiding indoors-it's about embracing the rejuvenating embrace of the Aare!
It's the best way to cool down on a hot, sticky summer's day, the Bernese say. Grab your swimsuit, walk up along the Aare, find a spot to get in –jump or step in carefully– and let yourself be carried away by its fresh, clean water. Half the town can be seen heading to the banks of the river, enjoying this form of 'urban swimming'.
You might stroll through Bern's charming Altstadt, get lost amidst clock towers and cathedrals, but there's one spectacle you shouldn't miss: the blissful sight of the Bernese floating down the Aare. And it's not just a mere swim-it's a celebration, an urban rite of passage on sweltering summer days!
Let the Aare surprise you: icy splashes from its glacial source, laughter echoing as friends and families drift together and the rhythmic pulse of the city intertwined with the river's cool caress. It's a reminder of how nature and urban life can coexist, not just in harmony but in sheer joy.
But here's the insider scoop: the Aare isn't just any river. At 300km, it's Switzerland's longest river flowing entirely within its borders, with tales as old as the Bernese Alps from where it originates. As it winds its way, cradling the UNESCO-recognized Old Town of Bern, it defines more than the city's geographical boundaries-it shapes its heart and soul.
Yet, as delightful as the Aare's embrace is, it's essential to remember its spirited nature. Its rapid currents and icy whispers demand respect. Always ensure you're in the prime state to swim, heed the advice of seasoned locals and stay cautious. Remember the golden rule when in Bern: 'Aare you safe?'
