If you’re new to SUP, Ana and the team will provide instruction to help you feel comfortable on the water. The rafting trip on the River Aare is an easy, scenic float rather than a whitewater experience, making it suitable for all skill levels. ### What is included in the price of the retreat?

All guided SUP tours, the rafting trip, a guided hike, a dance workshop, and an outdoor pool visit are covered, along with group transfers from Zurich Airport and all local transport during the retreat. You’ll also have the support of Ana and two local guides throughout. ### What additional costs should I budget for? You’ll need to cover two dinners , all lunches , and any drinks outside what’s provided with meals. There’s also a tourist tax payable directly at the hotel.

The hotel serves seasonal Swiss cuisine , and its location makes it a great base for activities. It’s a small, family-run hotel, so expect a cosy and friendly environment rather than a large resort. ### How do the airport transfers work?
