Why are cameras not allowed on some OUTDOOR Switzerland tours?
On activities like rafting, canyoning, bungee jumping, and skydiving, you need both hands free at all times. Selfie sticks, chest mounts, and handheld cameras create safety risks in rapids, on rocks, or near helmets. Personal cameras are prohibited on 9 specific tours to protect participants and ensure guides can focus on safety rather than managing equipment hazards.

Your guide's job is to keep you safe and move the group efficiently. A participant wrestling with a camera strap in a canyon or on a rubber raft draws attention away from both.
OUTDOOR Switzerland has prohibited personal cameras on 9 specific experiences: Rafting Lütschine, Rafting Simme, Bungy Stockhorn, Canyon Swing, Canyoning Chli Schliere, Canyoning Grimsel, Canyoning Interlaken, Airplane Skydive and Helicopter Skydive. The rule protects everyone on the tour, not just the person holding the camera.
