Description
Embark on an adventurous rafting tour through the Rhine Gorge. Navigate the Rhine surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and high rocky towers, and optionally enjoy a hearty barbecue.
In Ilanz, you will be picked up for your tour. After a short walk to the base, you will meet your guide. Once you receive all important information and your gear, you will head to the launching point. There, your guide will introduce you to the essential procedures, safety measures, and paddle instructions.
The rafting tour takes you through the breathtaking Rhine Gorge and its tall rocky towers. Along the way, you will encounter rapid currents. In the heart of the gorge, in Versam, a delicious barbecue awaits you by the riverside if you booked it.
Your tour concludes with a small aperitif in Reichenau, where your luggage is also waiting for you.

- In case of illness, consult a doctor in advance
- Bring swimwear, a towel, and a small daypack
- Depending on weather conditions, heat-insulating sports underwear is recommended
- Good swimming skills are expected, no rafting experience necessary
- Self-catering instead of a barbecue gathering is also possible

It was an amazing experience. The tour guide was very friendly and had lots of stories to share. Would gladly do it again, hopefully with a few more rapids 😊
