| Zürich | White Water Rafting in Zurich? Posted: Tue March 11, 2008 06:53 PM UTC
Hi. I'm curious if there is any white water rafting in Zurich. My wife and I are flying into Zurich from New York, and instead of taking a train to Bern or Interlaken, I'd like to try to find white water rafting in Zurich. Is there anything in the area? Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

There certainly is whitewater rafting near Zürich, at least for American values of "near". One popular place near Zürich for is Interlaken... Just a two hours train ride away.

Hi
As KVB says, if 2h drive is near no problem. But in Zurich itself or within 50km there is no rafting offered. Most popular areas for white water rafting are: Vorderrhein The Engadin The Bernese Oberland (near Grindelwald, Gstaad, or in the Kandertal) Don't expect to much though nothing is more then Grade 4 in Switzerland (not for commercial rafts at least) since we don't have the large volume rivers. Its great for Kajaks because there are lots of small and technical rivers. Here is one of many operators to give you an idea what I'm talking about. http://www.swissraft.ch/en/index.html Have fun Fenek
