A 3-hour guided tour exploring Lake Brienz by kayak in winter, starting from Bönigen near Interlaken. You wear a fully sealed expedition drysuit and neoprene boots, so you can paddle comfortably even in cold weather. On the turquoise lake surrounded by snowy peaks, you see Ringgenberg Castle and the Alps up close. Groups are limited to 6 people, and non-swimmers and first-time kayakers can join.

Kayak on Lake Brienz for about 2 hours with an experienced instructor from Hightide Kayak School. This winter tour runs from November to April, gliding over calm turquoise water surrounded by snow-capped peaks. No prior experience is needed, and with a maximum of 6 people you get close guidance from the instructor.

Before departure you receive and put on kayak gear including an expedition drysuit, neoprene boots and thick thermal socks. Wear your own warm clothes under the drysuit.

During the tour you pass Ringgenberg Castle and take in steep cliffs, snowy ridges and crystal-clear water. Take a short break with hot tea and cookies along the way. Photos and videos from the tour are provided as digital files.
