Leave the shore far behind for a glimpse of the depths of the Swiss lakes from a boat or stand-up paddle board and float on cloud nine. Set sail for a holiday adventure!

STAND-UP PADDLE BOARD

Aloha on the water

At the turn of the millennium, the stand-up paddle board found its way from Polynesia to us on the Swiss lakes. Today, this popular sport with a long tradition has become an integral part of the region. What’SUP?

KAYAK & CANOE

Paddle before cuddle

Whether in the wild river or relaxing lake water, whether at a high pace or to the relaxed rhythm of the gentle waves: Kanuland Schweiz is guaranteed to make the hearts of kayakers beat faster than any kiss!

BOATS

Riding a rubber dinghy into the sunset

The Aare, Limmat, Ticino and Rhine invite you to go boating. Colourful rubber dinghies galore happily sway across Switzerland’s great rivers from early morning to late in the evening in the summer. No engine, – it’s simply legendary!

Aare: Thun – Bern
Rhine: Stein am Rhein – Schaffhausen
Limmat: Zurich – Dietikon
Ticino: Bellinzona – Magadino

BOAT RENTAL AT THE YOUTH HOSTEL

From bed straight onto the boat and vice versa: Some youth hostels are not only located by the lake, but also hire out kayaks or stand-up paddle boards. This means that there’s nothing standing in the way of hiring one for your water adventure.
