“Bern City Slack Festival” 2023 will take place! We're looking forward to the 14. Edition of the biggest Swiss Slackline Festival from the 25th to 27th of August.
From beginners to movement professionals: Everyone is welcome! Interested newbies can discover the sport and try their hand at balancing on different slacklines. For more experienced slackliners we offer interesting challenges with many extraordinary slacklines. Again there will be workshops on various subjects. With the contests there will be a lot of fun and action! The festival is, as always, free of charge.

Frequently asked questions
- All setups may only be manipulated by the organiser (e.g. tensioning and detensioning of slacklines).
- When a slackline is in use, keep your distance. (Slacklines should never be crossed)
- Children under the age of 16 need written permission from their parents. The parents are responible to ensure that their children recognise the dangers and are supervised (responsibility is with the parents).
- Slackliners only mount lines, that are adequate for their skill level. People who can’t manage a short and low line, have no business going on a high longline.
