Introduction to Rafting on the Sarine River in Château-d’Oex

The initiation courses are ideal for families with children from 8 years old who would like to try rafting and learn the basics. On the route from Gstaad to Rougemont we pass through the Vanel gorges. The one from Enney to Broc in the district of Gruyère is especially very calm and easy.

Tour programme You arrive at our base at the scheduled time where you first have time to equip yourself (we have private facilities where you can change); a free car park is available on site. After the bus ride to the departure point, your guide gives you a theoretical introduction on safety. During our trip on the raft, the guide lets you know when to paddle - but most of the time you can fully enjoy the beautiful scenery, as the course is quite quiet. When arrriving at our final point, you will be taken back to our base where a small aperitif with cheese tasting of the region is offered.
