Have you ever thought about trading in your summer beach trip for a leisurely float down a river? Yep, that’s the allure of Switzerland’s sunny season, where the gentle currents of rivers not only beckon but also provide a unique way to dive into local culture! Picture this: you’re lounging by the Rhine in Basel, a close-knit community nestled along glistening waters, with your clothes snug in a quirky “Wickelfisch” swim bag as you drift past charming old buildings. But wait—don’t think Basel has all the fun! Over in Bern, daydreamers and thrill-seekers alike plunge into the milky Aare River to soak up the sun (and sometimes a little glacial melt!). Summer isn’t just about hitting up the usual tourist traps; it’s about finding joy in the most unexpected places, like floating your worries away in the heart of Europe. Feeling intrigued? I thought you might!

According to Basel’s Tourism Guide, “In summer, the Kleinbasel banks of the Rhine are the place to be! You can put your clothes in a ‘Wickelfisch‘ swim bag and simply float down on the gentle current through the picturesque Old Town.”

But Basel is not the only Swiss town that encourages floating down the local river. Le News, a Swiss news outlet, says, “The Aare River runs through Bern, Switzerland’s charming little capital city. During summer, thousands of locals and visitors jump into the Aare’s milky glacial-melt waters… and float down to one of the handy exits marked by red bars you can grab as you float by.”
