Saxeten Gorge Canyoning for beginners in Interlaken

The tour through Saxeten Gorge in the Bernese Oberland is the perfect introduction to a unique water adventure. Meet your guides at the meeting point, where you’ll get your canyoning equipment ready together. Then it’s about a 10-minute drive to the starting point of the canyon, Saxeten Gorge.

At the start of the canyon, you’ll receive a thorough safety briefing. You’ll spend the next 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours in the canyon, trying optional jumps, sliding down natural rock slides, abseiling and swimming through the river. You can bypass all the obstacles on this tour, so you can always decide how far you want to go.

At the beginning, you’ll abseil down 10 m. The highlight is a 5 m jump into the water, which you can skip if you prefer. The other jumps are between 1 and 2 m high. No canyoning tour would be complete without a rock slide, and the Superman rock slide is the longest on the route.

At the end of the tour, you’ll get a drink to refresh yourself before being driven back to the base.
