Canyoning near Interlaken: The 5 Best Gorge Trips

5 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.5 average  ·  from $199

Canyoning means a wetsuit and helmet, abseils on a rope, slides on smooth rock and jumps into water that stays cold all summer. These 5 run in the Grimsel, Chli Schliere and Saxeten gorges at different grades. Minimum ages and an ability to swim apply, and trips are called off when the water is high.

Interlaken half-day canyoning: 10 m rappel, optional 5 m jump, canoeing through gorges. Gear, hot shower, drink included.

“This activity was so much fun! It’s very high energy and physical so make sure you’re not injured or limited in any capacity. Our guides were so fun and helpful that you forget about the nervousness that can come with these activities and just enjoy yourself! Water is pretty cold but the wet suits help to keep you warm!”

Coach from Zurich to Interlaken for a guided canyoning day with waterfalls, jumps, rappels, and included gear, plus hot showers.

“Warten, Warten, Warten .... Eigentliche Aktivität echt gut. Von 8-20 h bedeutete für uns 8-10 Busfahrt 10-13 warten bis wir mit dem Canyoning dran waren 13-15 cooles Canyonining (Gruppe hätte etwas kleiner sein können, da wurde dann auch unsere Warte-Sensibilität etwas bedient) aber alle habe sich coole Mühe gegeben und echt schöne Erfahrung 15-18 h warten auf den Bus 20 h zurück in Zürich Ich glaube wenn von Anfang an klar gewesen wäre, dass man sich selber kümmern muss: Kein Thema. Ich hatte aber noch nachgefragt und gehört der Tag sei bis 20 h voll.”
