Two ways to get gloriously wet. Not sure where to start? These two are the ones an average visitor simply can’t go wrong with.

Rafting

Make a splash in the heart of Switzerland.
Paddle real rapids on the glacier-fed Lütschine — wavetrains, big splashes, and the Bernese Oberland flying past.

Canyoning · Recommended

Canyoning

Jump, slide, swim, rappel, repeat.
Drop into an alpine gorge near Saxeten — natural slides, clear pools and waterfalls you abseil straight down. Every obstacle optional.

The setting

Where the adventure takes place: Interlaken, Switzerland.

Interlaken sits between two brilliant blue lakes — Brienz and Thun — wrapped in the peaks of the Bernese Oberland, with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau on the skyline. Glacier-fed rivers like the Lütschine, deep alpine gorges, and everything a short drive from town.
Our base in Matten bei Interlaken is walkable from most hotels and easy to reach from Bern, Zürich, Luzern and Basel. You bring a swimsuit; the mountains do the rest.
Find your level

Pick your adventurer type!

Every guest is different — some want the scenic float, some want the wildest line in the canyon. Whether you’re easing in for the very first time or chasing full-action adventure.
