Product Information

Im still tryin to wrap this round my brain," one user joked. "Why hasn't the world found this out before?" To use, simply dump all your gear inside the main compartment the way you would any regular dry bag. If you don’t want to walk around with a balloon-like bag, then use it like a tote with the top left open while you carry it to the water. Before hitting the water, though, you’re going to want to prepare the bag to float, at which point you’re supposed to let air in, then roll up the tail of the bag seven times to seal it. From there, your dry bag has transformed into a functional float that should stay on the water’s surface the entire time.

In the sultry, parle Italiano canton of Ticino in southern Switzerland, it’s the lakes that get all the love. But dip into Ticino ’s hidden valleys, and you’ll lose the crowds and find the region’s true pulse. Here glassy, jewel-colored rivers float past chestnut woods and incredibly pretty granite hamlets cresting hilltops (including Switzerland’s smallest, Corippo , with a population of just 15).No country nails rail travel like the Swiss, where little red trains (polished and perfectly on time) chug from valley to peak with ease, leaving you to swoon over the Alpine scenery from the comfort of your panoramic carriage. Evoking a golden age of travel, Switzerland’s train journeys are hands down some of the world’s finest. Once inflated with air while closing it, it can be a great pillow for the beach or help you float while swimming. Even if you don’t cycle the Rehberger-Weg you should still visit Foundation Beyeler. One of our favorite museums in Basel was the Contemporary Art Museum of Foundation Beyeler. Foundation Beyeler is situated on a beautiful property that contains the private collection of Hildy and Ernst Beyeler. Like I said earlier as well, it’s very important to get your entry and exit points right. Pre-decide the spot from where you’d b e exiting the river again. You have to plan this, as it takes some time to get all the way to the side. It is a small city, but Basel boasts 40 museums, countless theaters featuring musical theater, ballet, and stage productions. With 300 days of sunshine a year, Basel has plenty of outdoor festivals, cinemas, and markets. It has its own carnival too. Basler Fasnacht is a three-day festival that is the biggest festival in Switzerland featuring masked musicians and performers.

The Sports Department of Basel-Stadt organizes an accompanied swim in the Rhine every Tuesday during the summer months of July and August. What I like about this is the fact that you’re accompanied by trained guards and it is a recurring event. You can find all the info here. Image Source: https://slrg-basel.ch/basler-rheinschwimmen/ 2. The Basel Rhine Swim Planning tip : Lucerne makes an appealing base for exploring the lake, with its Old Town, medieval wooden bridge and promenade strung along the lakeshore. 6. Take the Eiger Express to JungfraujochThe photo of Basel Fasnacht looks to have actually been taken at Liestal, a town some kilometers away. Those fire brooms are part of that town’s unique and rather harrowing celebration, but they have nothing to do with Basel’s own Fasnacht, which is renowned in its own right. Something that kept us going during the last one and a half years was our strong willingness to get together with our destination (Basel) and never to disappear from the landscape,” said Switzerland Tourism director Martin Nydegger, adding that hosting Canadian travel agents was a great way to emphasize that resilience and to declare “We’re ready to go” when travel began its first tentative steps towards recovery. Basel’s most famous son is tennis great Roger Federer, whose image is never far from sight, including adorning the newly launched “Federer Express” tram. There is plenty of room, with large red buoys marking the swimming area off from that used by boats. The adventure is just over 2km of downstream floating and I had a stupid grin on my face the whole way. Floating down a fast-flowing city centre river goes against all the “rules” we like to outline to swimmers in the UK: like knowing your exit point, and urban areas being often unclean, unsafe. But this was the perfect way to see the sights.
