Soft adventure in the Holiday Region Interlaken

In the Bernese Oberland, you can see the breathtaking landscape of mountain and lakes from above when you let the wind bear you gently through the air on a paraglider or delta wing glider. Guides are on hand to ensure your safety and show you the wonders of nature from a bird’s-eye perspective. Although paragliding can be enjoyed year-round, it is an extra special experience in winter: the views are even more spectacular in the exhilaratingly clear winter air. Above the clouds, the sense of freedom is infinite – and you can savour that feeling on a mountain flight by helicopter or small aircraft. Don’t worry, there’s no need to jump out! Just take off and fly over the Holiday Region Interlaken.

Thrilling jetboat rides are all about adrenaline-charged 360° turns at speed – and great views of the surrounding mountains. Along the way, your experienced captain will tell you about the region. Prefer to paddle across the water under your own steam? A kayak tour lets you proceed at an easy pace and enjoy the sight of nature while improving your own fitness. Winter kayaking on Lake Brienz makes for an unexpectedly special experience. Wrapped in a warm dry suit, you glide easily over the surface of the water in your kayak, with time to admire the snowy mountains that surround you. This is an activity to warm the body and soul – and such experiences create memories that last forever.

Enjoy the feeling of floating? An inflatable dinghy ride down the River Aare from Thun to Bern is an extraordinary experience of fast and slow currents in a varied river landscape that offers views of the Bernese Alps. Another option is family rafting on the Lütschine or the Simme, which combines fun and action with thrills and spills.
