At our base (Route du Pré 33, 1660 Château-d'Œx) - coming from Bulle 500 m after Les Moulins, after the bridge over the Sarine turn right
Details
This magnificent river trekking tour is accessible to all and the ideal activity if you need a change of scenery and want to disconnect in nature. You can try jumps and slides on the rocks polished by the water. Let us discover two quite different parts of the gorge: From the first which is rather open we walk to the second which is totally in the gorges.
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, in order to live an experience without risks. In the canyon, you follow the guide who shows you the slides to go down and the jumps to undertake (or how to avoid them). When arriving at our final point, you will be taken back to our base where a small snack is offered.

The people who organized the event were wonderful.
The drought somewhat diminished our experience, as the water level wasn't optimal...

It was a beautiful gorge.
It was a different one than what we booked, but that doesn't matter. - This one was really cool. 😁
And the guides were super friendly & helpful. We laughed so much.
Just great. 😄
