Adventure & Sports - Bern (Schweizer Mittelland)

At 291 km, the Aare is the longest wholly Swiss river. It originates from the Oberaar glacier in the eastern Bernese Alps, flows through lakes Brienz and Thun, passes by the federal capital of Bern, is channelled into Lake Biel, follows the southern foot of the Jura range and finally flows into the Rhine at Koblenz, in north-western Switzerland. Passenger boats operate on the lakes as well as the river section from Biel to Solothurn.

The Adventure Park Ropetech near Thunplatz is a fixed-rope park established among the natural tree population of the Bernese Dählhölzli Forest. On six Parcours for diverse skill levels, visitors can experience a new perspective of the forest from a height of 4 to 18 meters. Visitors are not likely to forget this mix of adventure, thrills and nature.
