What we’re about
Welcome to Bilingual Hikes + Apero, Bern chapter!

Our group organizes regular hikes where we immerse ourselves in nature while engaging in conversations in two chosen languages.

Everyone is welcome! Whether you're a beginner or fluent, love hiking or are just starting out, our group is open to all levels of language proficiency and hiking experience. Just bring your enthusiasm and a spirit of adventure!
How It Works:
Meetup Details: We announce our hike locations and language pairs ahead of each event.
Language Exchange: During the hike, we alternate between the two chosen languages, switching at regular intervals.
