Outdoor Interlaken was our second home on our vacation to Interlaken, Switzerland this past week. And wow, what a great place with fantastic people it turned out to be! We were inspired to come to Interlaken after watching #season31TheAmazingRace. Once we saw teams do the canyon jump we knew we had to do it too! Little did we know that we would also do paragliding, white water rafting, canyoning as well! Every single guide on every single excursion was knowledgeable, SAFE, and tons of fun. We traveled with our 11 year old son and though some of the activities we did were a bit on the scary side, we always felt that our son as well as ourselves were in good hands! I'd like to thank Elena for her patience and help in scheduling 5 days of fantastic, over the top tours for our family of three. Want to shout out to our paraglide guys, Rafael, Stephan and T, (can't remember my husband's guide and he's at work as I write this, sorry!). Want to give props to Mate and Roshan for an amazing day water rafting, was so much fun we cannot wait to try it again! Would like to say thank you to Silva and Alan for an amazing canyoning experience and we are insured to try this again too! And last but not least, thank you to Anna and Chris for making our canyon swing jump so memorable and fun! Chris, you are lucky I will not be haunting you after all, lol. I'd also like to add that for every activity we did, we always left our back packs and valuables in their care and all of our items were always safe. Thank you Outdoor Interlaken and everyone there who made this vacation for us one that we will never ever forget and treasure forever. Love and friendship forever, Cynthia, John, and Bruce.

My 9 year old nephew and I had the most wonderful time. This isn’t your ordinary sledding experience, you actually go around a mountain! Hint, have a proficient understanding of left and right!! Pay attention to the professional guide, Danny, and his specific instructions. I think the attitude is eh, how difficult can sledding be? The way I grew up you grabbed a plastic disk and walked up a hill, you’d sit and go straight down and repeat until your parents made you go inside. Here there are actual complete straight down drops off the side of the mountain. It’s no joke if you don’t take the easy and clear training seriously. You go in a group and it’s a lot of fun to meet people from all over the world. My nephew is NOT proficient in left and right and almost left footed himself right over the edge. I shrieked at him to STOP!!! It was such a foggy and dreary day but that made the day more mysterious. You can’t lose if it’s dense fog or a clear sunny day. You’re sledding on a mountain and the scenery is what is written in fairy tales, it’s absolutely magical. I felt like we would have been a scene in a snow globe. Danny, our guide from Seville, was the best. He is passionate about the outdoors, athletics and making sure everyone had a fun and safe experience. He was thoughtful, attentive, great to talk to and funny. Book through this organization if you want a top tier experience with a guide who goes above and beyond for his customers, ensuring they are getting the maximum benefit and fun from the sledding!!! As always, nature gave us the setting but it’s the people that elevate it to unbelievable.

Had an amazing time with my husband on the Canyoning Grimsel Adventure at the end of August. The pick up in Wilderswil was on time and the vans and facility were clean and well run. The guides were knowledgable, funny and kind. The drive up was a bit long, but scenic and a great chance to get to know the guides and other participants. We were lucky enough to meet many fun people on this excursion! The drive stops at a field close to the gorge entrance, where you change into your gear. Then you continue the last couple minutes to the start, where you enter the canyon by a 50m rappel !! It’s so fun, and not for the faint of heart! The water is super cold at the bottom, but feels great and refreshing with the wetsuit they provide. Then you do all sorts of slides and jumps through the canyon! It definitely took me and a lot of the others out of our comfort zones, but man was it fun and felt like such an accomplishment! Every time I finished a big jump into the water I was so proud of myself! You definitely need to be in decent shape for this and willing to make high jumps into the water. The guides are great at making it fun and safe at the same time. The whole group felt really close together at the end because it was so exhilarating. Back at the field, we changed into our regular clothes again and had a sandwich and drinks. Then we drove back to the base, where you could choose to purchase pictures which we passed on. There are no restroom facilities on the excursion besides at the base. I felt the price was fair for the high quality excursion. Would recommend!

One of the best days of my life! Conquered the freezing waters while canyoning then followed it up by flying high above the Alps. The entire process of setting up the adventure with Outdoor was as simple as could be. After booking the trip and venturing to Switzerland, our hostel was able to set up a pickup time with Outdoor. They came straight to our door the morning of our adventure and let us grab our canyoning gear and sign all of the required waivers. We booked early in the morning and were lucky enough to have a private canyoning experience even though we payed the group price. Canyoning was intense, thrilling, and totally worth the money. After drying off we grabbed a quick lunch before heading to the paragliding pickup area which they drove us to. Paragliding is actually done with a different company through a collaboration with Outdoor Interlaken, but they were just as kind and all of the pilots were top notch. While paragliding looks like a boatless parasailing, it is an entirely different experience. The views are impossible to get otherwise, the speed is noticeable, and once you get near the ground, the optional stunts they pull are intense. I have recommended the entire experience to most people I know. If you make it out to Switzerland, check out Outdoor Interlaken. -9.3/10

My husband and I booked our first Via Ferrata through Outdoor Switzerland, which we were extremely happy with. We read many blogs prior and since it was a first time a guided tour was recommended especially since we don’t have any climbing experience. Our guide Tina was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and I felt very safe with her. Along with learning the right technique and facts of the area along the way. Our trip took about 4 hours which was slightly longer than expected but primarily due to the congested path due to poor weather the previous days. But the benefit of that was we were able to see base jumpers take flight from the trail. This is definitely unforgettable experience. Be sure to bring lots of water and a snack! Also shoutout to Tina again she was so kind in helping someone from a different group who was struggling to complete the tour.

This was my 7th attempt to go skydiving, every other time has been cancelled in other places due to weather or plane maintenance issues. I think that is what had to happen and I’m thankful I kept trying because it led me to jumping in probably one of the coolest spots you could possibly jump. The driver Elliot that took me to the jump spot was so amazing and gave me lots of suggestions for other adventures and I wish I gave him a tip after but was in a skydiving haze so it slipped my mind. The man I jumped with was also incredible and made me feel as safe as possible and heightened the experience. Overall I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone. They give you a 5 minute video for 40 CHF which is pricey but there was a lot of editing that went into it to give you a video you can remember for the rest of your life. Overall 10/10 experience!
