Join a small group of up to eight for a guided Lütschine River rafting trip from Wilderswil. You will gear up at base, ride to the launch point, tackle rapids for about 45 minutes, then float toward Lake Brienz. Guides such as Benjy lead the safety briefing, with hot showers and a drink afterward.

“So much fun as a family. We had Benjy as our guide and I believe Adam as our driver. It was a great excursion. We have differing levels of comfort in the water. Myself and our 10 year old can swim but aren’t strong swimmers while my husband is a competitive swimmer. Despite all the differences we all had so much fun and felt comfortable and safe the whole time. Thanks. We would do it again and maybe even up the rapids to the next level for next time.”
