Rafting-tours
The waters in Switzerland are divided into categories from I (calm water) to VI. For Canoeing in Switzerland, SwitzerlandMobility uses the categories II – IV for guided rafting tours. Please also see Requirements. Thanks to professional guides, stable inflatable rafts and the equipment provided, it is possible to safely negotiate remote gorges and foaming rapids that would normally be reserved for very experienced paddlers. SwitzerlandMobility presents the most attractive rafting tours.
Information on organizations offering guided tours is shown with the respective routes of Canoeing in Switzerland.

Requirements
