Great fun in the mountains! Our group of 11 ranged from 11 to 55+ and everyone had a good time. There are 'go-arounds' available to those who may be nervous about the jumps, but most of our group just went for it! Our guides were terrific, never pushing people (too far) beyond their comfort zone. Highly recommend!

This was a very fun several hours. Great canyoning adventure for those that have never done it. We were considering the next level experience which is 5 hrs long, and more advanced, but we were fully satisfied and happy with this 3-hour version. This was our first canyoning experience. Highly recommend.

What To Expect

Start your beginner’s canyoning adventure at the canyoning base to meet your guide and gather your safety gear, including a wetsuit to keep you warm against the chill of the mountain water.

Enjoy the 10-minute drive to the outskirts of Wilderswil along a scenic route beneath the Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger mountain peaks of the Swiss Alps. On arrival, it’s a short walk up the hill to the canyon entrance, where you snap on your helmet, harness, and life jacket and receive a safety briefing. Put techniques you’ve learned into practice as you go abseiling (rappelling) into the canyon and plunge into the water below.

Clamber up and slide through a series of chutes into plunge pools. Continue downstream to the final slide in the second canyon, and float along at your leisure while the water carries you down a natural channel, over a series of drops, and into a deep pool of tranquil water below. Rest assured that your guides are on hand throughout the adventure to ensure your safety.

At the end of your canyoning run, take a short walk back to the bus for the return drive to the base, where you can purchase a copy of your filmed trip through the canyons. Enjoy a shower and a refreshing hot drink before drop-off at your accommodation or train station in Interlaken, where your tour concludes.

As a family of four this was a fun and enjoyable way to enjoy the Swiss Alps. The scenery was beautiful and it was adventurous enough for teenagers but doable for parents as well. Our guides were excellent patient and entertaining.

Incredible Interlaken Canyoning Experience

Braden_S, Oct 2025

My wife and I had an absolute blast on this trip! Our guides Andy and Gerard were incredible very easy going and fun but also made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. We were originally scheduled for the Chli Schliere canyoning but due to heavy rain ended up having to cancel. Outdoor went above and beyond to still get us on a canyoning trip while we were still in town for our honeymoon. The interlaken Canyoning is great because it only takes a few hours and you still get some of the jumps and drops! Definitely recommend!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you and your wife had such a great time with Andy and Gerard. We’re glad we could still make your honeymoon adventure happen despite the rain. We hope to see you again for another canyoning experience soon!

Physical and Fun!

Katie_A, Aug 2025

Such an awesome and unique experience! My husband and I didn’t know what to expect when we signed up and it didn’t disappoint. Our guides were wonderful (Hidde, Hanna, Deitrich) and made sure we had fun while also staying safe. This is for you if you like to challenge yourself and enjoy physical activities!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Safe and fun!

Lindsey_B, Aug 2025

We had such a great experience! My sisters and I did this as a part of our sister’s trip. The guides are very helpful and explain everything as you go along. I felt very safe the entire time. It went by pretty fast though, we kind of wish we’d signed up for the longer one!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

So happy to hear you and your sisters had a great time! Safety and fun are our top priorities. Next time, the longer trip awaits for even more adventure! Thanks for sharing!

Family FUN for all - Switzerland highlight!

Lisa_C, Jul 2025

Incredible experience with our 14 and 17 year old kids - the whole family loved this! The provided full wetsuits and boots were key - I hate being cold more than anything and I must say every moment of this experience was enjoyable! This was a top-notch organization from beginning to end. Our guides were outstanding and we all felt safe but challenged the whole day through! Wow - what a highlight of our Switzerland family vacation!!!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Bucket List Experience

Katie_J, Jun 2025

Canyoning in Switzerland was an unforgettable family adventure! Our guides, Matthias and Timmy, were absolutely incredible—fun, professional, and made everyone feel safe and confident, even the teens. The perfect balance of thrill and scenery, with breathtaking waterfalls, natural slides, and jumps that pushed us just the right amount out of our comfort zones. A highlight of our trip and something we’ll be talking about for years. Can’t recommend it enough!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for the amazing review! We're so glad canyoning was a highlight of your trip and that our amazing guides made it safe, fun, and memorable for the whole family. The perfect mix of adventure and stunning scenery—can’t wait to welcome you back for more!

First Time Canyoning Adventure with College Aged Family

DanBoyum, May 2025

Excellent quality gear. They outfit you with good wet suits, equipment etc. Picked us up at the Interlaken Ost train station and transferred us to their shop. People were friendly and VERY SKILLED guides. This is a top rated outfitter for sure and the activities were fun, safety was always in order and exhilarating.

We had a great time and the guides were lovely and very helpful. Not mentioned in the description was our favourite part, a rope swing!

Just do it

Richard_L, Jul 2022

It was perfect for parents and teenagers - not difficult but definitely more fun than I’d imagined and got the blood pumping. Do it.

Great Adventure

Marta_B, Aug 2019

Was the first time my family ever tried canyoning and couldn't have asked for a better guides. They were knowledgeable, kind, friendly and patient. Can be bit scary at times, especially for me (mom) but they guided me every step of the way and so happy I did it all. No regrets!!!

One of the craziest experiences I have in Europe

Desta C, May 2019

We went at late May when the water was rising. So there are some places you can feel water pushing you really hard. I could never imagine myself going through rapid currents before I went on this trip. Our tour guides are experienced and responsible. Recommend for people who are looking for something new and thrilling.

A highlight of our time in...

James Patrick, Sep 2017

A highlight of our time in Switzerland! I was worried the beginner course would be boring, but this still pushed our group out of our comfort zone and we had a blast. Our two guides were really nice guys, and the beer at the end of the experience was a great touch. Wouldn't change a thing and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Canyoning was rained out, so we were...

Toni_S, May 2016

Canyoning was rained out, so we were put on a white water rafting trip with a bachelor party. We did not get the video because we were in the back of the boat behind all the ruckus. Overall, the guide was funny and good ,and the ride was cold, but fun.
