If the weather allows it, put your swimwear on and enjoy some outdoor swimming in the river Rhine between France and Switzerland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swimming down the Rhine: a Swiss tradition<\/h2>\n

The Swiss are particularly keen on white water swimming, to a point where it has become almost a tradition and people from Basel are no exception, enjoying a swim in the nearby Rhine.<\/p>\n

There are some good opportunities for a nice swim, especially during the Swimming down the Rhine event. However, this kind of swimming is only recommended for strong swimmers. And if you are less confident in the water, visit the organised swimming areas like the mini beach by the Tinguely Museum.<\/p>\n

Avoid danger \u2013 stay safe<\/h2>\n

If you want to swim in the river Rhine you need to follow some safety rules to stay safe. Sunstroke, risk of drowning and other accidents are always a possibility. Remember to apply sun cream at regular intervals and always enter the water slowly. Supervise your children and don\u2019t let them stray too far.<\/p>\n

Enjoy a nice break with sunbathing, swimming and good food<\/h2>\n

Fancy a swim in your lunch break or after work? Don\u2019t go hungry, come and eat at our hotel restaurant Bistrot La Cave at La Villa K in Saint-Louis. Enjoy fine bistro food only 5 minutes from Basel. And ask for a picnic hamper for some lovely outdoor eating.<\/p>\n

And what\u2019s more, as hotel guests you can use our e-bikes too.<\/p>\n
