Rafting.ch

Who we are

A guiding crew that lives for the river.

We’re a small team of certified Swiss guides who treat every departure like it matters — because the terrain is real and the people in our boats are someone’s family.

Our story

Born in the mountains, run by locals.

We’ve spent years on the rivers and in the gorges of the Bernese Oberland — long enough to know which pools deepen in July and which ledge gets slippery in August. That local knowledge is the whole point.

Rafting.ch is the Interlaken home of a family that’s been guiding across Switzerland for years, including our brothers at the Engadin Outdoor Center. Different valleys, same standards: conservative, certified, and genuinely fun.

What we stand for

Three things, in this order.

Safety first

Conservative go/no-go calls, water levels checked before every departure, one guide per 6–8 guests, and a walk-around at every obstacle.

Fun second

Small groups, a relaxed pace, and guides who actually enjoy the job. Adventurous without being extreme.

Photos third

If the guides are filming, you’ll get the footage. But it never comes before the experience or your safety.

The crew

Guides, not temps.

Swiftwater rescue, wilderness first aid and Swiss Outdoor Association certified — every one of them.

“Rafting didn’t work out so we went canyoning and it was a fantastic adventure! Some jumping, abseiling, a rope swing, and scrambling through the canyon and water. Challenging for folks who spend most time at a desk but at the same time n…”
