Experience the Outdoors in Autumn
6 reasons why kayaking and outdoor adventures in autumn are a “must-do”
Fewer People!
The first weeks of September are an ideal time for paddling—schools are back in session, and the areas around lakes become quieter. If you head out on the water now, your chances of snagging the best picnic or camping spots increase, and you might even have the whole lake to yourself.
The Colors Are Incredible!
In autumn, the green chlorophyll in the leaves gives way to vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges. Sunny days and cool nights enhance these colors even more. Not just in the Bernese Oberland, but from late September to mid-October, you have the best chance to experience this palette on a kayaking tour.
Cool Weather, Cool Action!
No heat, no sweating—the cool autumn air is perfect for long, relaxing tours. Whether in a wetsuit or drysuit, fall allows you to layer up and stay warm.
No Insects
After a summer filled with mosquitoes, wasps, and other bugs, it’s a relief when the buzzing stops. Fall lets you enjoy nature without the little pests. 😉
Campfires Are Even More Fun!
A campfire in the middle of summer often feels unnecessary. But in autumn, the warmth is welcome, and roasting sausages or bread over the fire is the perfect way to end a day on the water.
Stargazing Is Easier
The shorter days of autumn bring nightfall earlier—perfect for stargazing.
