Saxeten Gorge Canyoning for beginners in Interlaken

The canyoning tour in the Saxet Valley in the Bernese Oberland is the perfect start for a unique water adventure. At the meeting point, you'll meet your guides. Together, you'll prepare the gear for canyoning. Afterwards, you'll drive by car approximately 10 minutes to the canyon’s starting point, Saxet Valley.

At the canyon's start point, you'll receive detailed instructions. You’ll spend around 1:30 to 2 hours inside the canyon. Here, you'll perform optional jumps, slide over natural rock slides, rappel from abseiling points, and swim through the river. All obstacles can be bypassed on this tour. You can always choose how far you want to go.

Initially, you'll rappel down 10 metres. The highlight is the 5-metre deep jump into the water, which you can choose to skip. The other jumps are between 1 and 2 metres deep. No canyoning tour would be complete without a rock slide. The Superman rock slide is the longest along the route.

At the end of the tour, you'll receive a drink to refresh yourself and be driven back to base.
