Cross the language border while river rafting on the tempestuous Saane River. Far from the pleasantly gurgling stream further upstream, the Saane in the posh resort Gstaad becomes a raging stream with many rapids. As rafters approach the Vanel and the Gérignoz Gorges, the adrenalin level seems to rise conspicuously. It is a good thing that the excursion is escorted by an experienced guide who will guide rafters through the high velocity water safely. And then everything becomes calm: cows graze on green meadows and the Saane becomes a placid river. Dip the paddles in for a last time and then it is time to get out: what an experience!
How to get there:
Drive or take public transportation to Spiez or Montreux and then on to Gstaad.
