Itinerary
Meeting points Meeting Point
The tour begins with a meeting point directly at the Jetboat base in Bönigen by the lake.
Introduction
In Bönigen, the raft is ready and waiting. You receive your life jacket and a warm blanket. The fondue set is already laid out: caquelon, fondue forks, bread and sides. Then you board and settle in.
Cheese Fondue on Lake Brienz
We head out together onto Lake Brienz for a scenic and relaxing loop around the lake. Your guide paddles while you focus on the fondue: bread on the fork, dipped into melted Swiss cheese, white wine poured. City lights reflect on the water, the mountains fade into the dark. The pace is slow. Talk, eat, look around.
End of the Tour
After a relaxing loop around Lake Brienz, the tour ends back in Bönigen.

Weather info
General weather info
Weather can influence any tour, and a clear decision is often only possible on the day itself. We review conditions carefully and remain within our safety limits, and bad weather alone does not mean we have to stop.
Make sure we can reach you with current contact information in case your booking changes. Silence from us means your tour is still planned or the final call is not yet made. If we need to cancel, you can rebook, choose another activity, or get a full refund.
