Saxeten is the shorter introduction to canyoning near Interlaken. With a guide, you move through pools and rock walls by wading, sliding and making short abseils. It is a chance to try the activity without committing to one of the longer canyon trips.
Short still means active, with cold water throughout. The operator’s swimming, health and participation requirements matter here too. Go with a guide, who decides what the conditions allow, and bring dry clothes for afterwards.
