Itinerary
Meeting points Note: The following itinerary is an example and may differ from the actual tour.
Welcome to the Base
The tour starts at the OUTDOOR Base in Interlaken. Once you have checked in you will receive a short briefing after which you will be equipped with all necessary gear. Once everyone is ready, we hop in the shuttle together.
Journey to the Canyon
The short-but-scenic drive to the canyon takes about ten minutes. From the shuttle it is a short walk through the woods to the start of the canyon.
Into the Canyon
Before you enter the canyon, the guides give you a more detailed safety briefing. The guides then lead the group through the canyon.
You'll be faced with a 10m rappel, jumps of up to 3m and a rope swing over a 5m waterfall.
After exploring the canyon, the guides lead you back throught the forest to the shuttle and drive you back to the Base.
Back at the Base
At the Base you return your equipment and have the opportunity to take a hot shower. At the front desk, trade in your armband for a free drink.
Now is the time to order the video of your adventure.

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.
