Classic River Rafting on the Sarine River in Château-d’Oex

This beautiful route from the Bernese Oberland to the canton of Vaud is accessible to all, even if the river is wild. It leads us to two superb gorges: those of Vanel, situated 1 km before the village of Rougemont, and those of Gérignoz at the entrance of Château d'Oex. You will admire the magnificent landscape where the walls play with the light, creating shimmering magical reflections.
