Drop 90 meters into a glacially carved gorge and swing at highway speeds above the Lütschine. OUTDOOR Interlaken’s professionally guided canyon swing blends Swiss precision with pure alpine adrenaline—no experience required, just nerve.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The canyon waits in a hush that is never truly quiet. Below, the Lütschine charges through its narrow corridor, throwing white spray against rock polished by ice and centuries of flood. You step onto a platform bolted to the gorge wall, 90 meters of air between your toes and the river’s muscle. The guide clips you in, checks again, and nods. The river dares you. Gravity leans in.

The Gletscherschlucht was sculpted by the now-retreated Lower Grindelwald Glacier; 19th-century quarrying in the area supplied local ‘marble’ for buildings in the Bernese Oberland.
Conservation
Glacial retreat and warming impact flows and rock stability in the gorge. Stay on marked walkways, respect guide instructions, and pack out all trash.
