Description
On this three-hour rafting tour, you'll discover the stunning surroundings of the Pays-D’Enhaut region and dive into the waves and rapids of the Saane. Your guide will navigate you and your group through various narrow gorges and wavy river sections.
At the le Berceau campsite in Chateau d'Oex, a professional instructor will give you an introduction to rafting and inform you about the safety measures. Afterwards, every participant will be equipped with the appropriate gear.
Then, you'll head with the group to the starting point in Chateau d'Oex. For the next 1.5 hours, you'll raft with your guide through powerful gorges and diverse river sections towards Gstaad. The tour ends back in Chateau d'Oex after you've returned from your exit point.
The Vanel and Gerignoz gorges offer narrow passages and untouched, natural whitewater. The Saane has carved its way through the rock formations, leaving behind beautiful and adventurous rafting routes.
