Kayaking

The kayaking programme includes trips in long, stable sea kayaks and training courses for beginners and advanced paddlers in shorter, more manoeuvrable whitewater boats.

In our basic kayaking courses on the calm Wohlensee, participants learn how to get in and out of the boat, paddle efficiently and steer.

As a follow-up course, participants can try out the waves of the Aare, where getting in and out of the boat is great fun and a refreshing way to cool off.

The week-long and weekend camps combine whitewater experiences with extraordinary encounters with nature.

In the indoor pool, participants can safely learn and practise kayaking rolls in warm water.

The kayak courses at Unisport Bern also offer the opportunity to achieve Paddle Level 1 and Level 2 (the latter on request) from Swiss Canoe. This training concept is based on the Euro Paddle Pass. In addition to paddling skills, the courses also cover safety, dealing with nature and personal responsibility. The paddle levels can be used to hire canoe equipment abroad, for example.
