Relax, floating on the Limmat in Zürich, Switzerland

Bötle, or floating down a river on a rubber tube, is one of the favorite summer activities of people in Switzerland. We were missing out on this activity in the first few years we lived in Switzerland, as we had no idea what to expect.

The official guide on how to behave on rivers can be found here: https://www.slrg.ch/de/praevention/sl....

The float on the Limmat leads us from the main station in Zurich to Dietikon in about 3-4 hours, depending on the flow of the limmat.
In between there are two main areas you need to be aware of as well as three nice floating segments.

We hope that you will be able to float down the Limmat yourself for the first time after watching our video. Just make sure to be safe, especially if you are not a good swimmer. The water might be shallow in many areas, but the current is not something to underestimate.
