Itinerary
Meeting points Meeting Point
The tour starts at the OUTDOOR Base in Interlaken. The guides introduce themselves and give you a briefing on the tour's itinerary. You will receive all the necessary equipment and then go to the changing rooms to get ready.
Drive to the Starting Point
The scenic drive to the Lütschine entry point in Lütschental takes about 20 minutes.
Rafting
Before starting, the guides thoroughly explain paddling techniques and water safety rules, then you get on the water.
The Lütschine starts as it means to go on; with the first major rapid only meters from the start. You paddle while your guide navigates the boat safely through the water.
After about 1.5-2 hours you reach Lake Brienz, where you jump in for a short swim.
Return Trip
Once you have helped get the boats out of the water, you jump back in the shuttle and return to the Base.
End of the Tour
Back at the Base, you return the gear, shower, and change. Afterwards you can get a complimentary drink in the front desk area.
Now is the time to view your photos and order your photo package.

Weather is part of the adventure and can influence any tour. We continuously monitor the conditions and always operate within our safety standards — rain alone does not stop the experience. This tour runs in most weather conditions and is only affected if water levels become too high. If you don’t hear from us, your adventure is going ahead as planned.
Please make sure your contact details are up to date. If a cancellation becomes necessary, we will reach out and help you rebook, choose another activity, or receive a full refund.
