Activities
The Jungfrau region is known abroad as the adrenalin capital of Europe. The Jungfrau region offers Rafting, Canyoning, Sky diving, Hang gliding,Paragliding, and much more. These activities are strictly regulated to Swiss safety standards. Numerous booking agencies offer tours, mostly run by the same companies.
RAFTING
The mighty Lütschine offers some of the best whitewater rafting in the Swiss Alps. Straight from the start below the Eiger North Face, continuous class III-IV rapids surge down from the mountains and out into the Interlaken valley and the Lake of Brienz. From May to mid September The Simme is a mellower ride and you can even enjoy a float trip on the Aare and grill on the go
CANYONING
Rappel, slide and jump down rocks and waterfalls. There are different canyons to suit all tastes, from easier half day trips to full on full day trips with 25ft jumps. From May to whenever it gets too cold!
PARAGLIDING
Big and small, we all dream of flying. Tandem flights turn dreams into reality. Enjoy breathtaking mountain views and the sensational feeling of flying high above the Jungfrau region. Experienced pilots ensure smooth take offs and gentle landings. Bookable summer and winter.
HANG GLIDING
Hang Gliding is the closest thing you can get to flying like a bird and Interlaken is one of the the best places in the world to do it! Our main take- off site is among the highest commercial sites in the world and the highest in Interlaken. It is directly above Interlaken and boasts one of the best views in Switzerland.Whether you want a smooth scenic flight or an adrenalin pumping thrill ride, just tell us and we will tailor the flight to your needs. After all, it’s your flight. We can go extreme, with stalls, dives and huge wingovers that make your eyes water and your mouth dry (but only if you want !) We will then land smoothly right in Interlaken.
HIGH ROPES COURSE
Several ourses of varying difficulty and height lead you on a tree top adventure through a beautiful forest. Challenge yourself as you travel from platform to platform along a maze of rope bridges and zip lines set high in the trees. Along the way enjoy the stunning views of the Swiss Alps and the majestic Jungfrau region. This is a great way to be amongst nature at it’s most splendid! It’s a great family day away and there is a picnic and barbecue area. Open from Spring to autumn, depending on the weather conditions.
SKYDIVING
This activity has a serious adrenaline factor with the bonus of a really great flight before you even get to the jump site. Can be booked year round. You can jump either from an airplane or a helicopter.
BUNGY AND CANYON SWING
There are two spectacular bungy sites to choose from. One in Grindelwald, by the glacier gorge, the other at the Stockhorn, where you jump off a cable car above an alpine lake. The Grindelwald site remains open during the winter months.
CLIMBING
