Wilderswil

Wilderswil is located close to Interlaken. The village is situated at 586 m above sea level at the entrance to the Lütschinen valleys. The municipal area stretches up to 2413 m above sea level. The Saxetbach flows into the Lütschine near Wilderswil and created an alluvial cone here. Its rocky gorge is popular for canyoning. From Wilderswil an aerial cableway provides access to the Schynige Platte, from where paragliders like to take off. The village with more than 1200 guest beds is a popular starting point for excursions to the Jungfrau region

“I decided to do this after seeing the paragliders land in Interlaken, and i was on my first solo trip so thought why not! I was nervous beforehand, but my pilot, Robin, put me at ease and was very kind. It’s actually a peaceful experience (we did do one fun trick which i loved, and you can ask for more if you want a thrill), and the views are incredible. We flew for quite a long time due to the thermals. I recommend to anyone :) no experience needed!”

“I loved the canyon swing. It felt like a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. The team were friendly and helpful, kept me calm when I started to panic, and gave me a little push to finally get off. Thank you.”
