Was able to park and walk onto the bobsled run area while the Swiss championships were underway. Very cool to see this sport up close and personal. Was able to go to the start line as well a bit later. Didn't splurge for the ride down with two professionals however as that was quite pricy.

Marzili Pool is a public swimming pool and a well know place to locals. In summer it is the place to be. Luscious lawn, large trees, lockers that also aid as privacy barriers towards the street, a restaurant, showers and change rooms make this pool a very enjoyable spot when it is hot. Simply bring your town, sun lotion and your friends and enjoy the day here. There are volleyball and soccer courts close by and if you are up for a river swim, the pool is located right next to the Aare river. Please check with the locals to hear if it safe at that time. There is no entry fee so don't be shy, come on in. Large olympic pool but also baby pool and kids play area. Perfect for everyone.
