slowUp by bike, by foot or on inline skates (Emmental)

Gather your muscle strength and enjoy the green Swiss countryside in a slow way - by bicycle or on foot at the slowUp car-free day in Emmental-Oberaargau.

slowUp car-free days are being organized all over Switzerland, slowing down certain regions and making them healthier and happier for a day. Cyclists, pedestrians and inline skaters have the streets fully on their own on those days – no cars allowed!

With drivers being on a "car diet" for a day, slowUp Emmental-Oberaargau is one of the sections of the national scale event and will gather a part of the hundreds of thousands of the participants.

It is not a race but rather a big get-together for supporters of an active lifestyle. You can start the car-free route at any place along the way, pick your own speed and go as far as you want to. Along the route, you can stop at the different stations to try local Emmental delicacies and refreshments, as well as to see what other surprises the event sponsors have in store for you.

You can bring your own bicycle or rent one on the spot (price starting from 30 francs). Join this slowUp anywhere along its route. There might also be other slowUp events closer to your home.
