Paddling, Pints and Swiss Delights

3 days • Always Available

Explore a unique section of the Sugar River Valley – the perfect playground for a weekend of outdoor adventure that pulls in local history, Swiss heritage, Wisconsin traditions, incredible paddling and hiking, and a healthy dose of ice cream, because… this is America’s Dairyland, after all.

Our Paddling, Pints and Swiss Delights adventure spans the small community of Paoli, which boasts an outsized personality with Midwestern humbleness, and Swiss culture in nearby New Glarus.

Located just 12 miles from downtown Madison, these towns in the heart of the Sugar River Valley offer a one-of-a-kind Summer weekend that is enough to satisfy adults while also being kid-friendly.
