What is rafting?

Rafting is a high-adrenaline water activity where groups descend fast-flowing rivers in inflatable rafts. Together, and following experienced guides, participants navigate rapids using paddles and teamwork.

On the Lütschine River—a glacier-fed stream that flows from the Eiger, Jungfrau, and Mönch into the Interlaken valley—rafting becomes a pulse-raising adventure. You'll race through powerful whitewater surrounded by iconic Bernese Oberland landscapes, ultimately reaching the serene Lake Brienz.
