What you can expect

Paddle into a winter wonderland on Lake Brienz with Hightide Kayak School and discover a side of Switzerland few ever see. From November to April, enjoy a 3-hour guided winter kayak tour, gliding across the calm, turquoise waters framed by snow-covered peaks.

Equipped with a high-quality drysuit, boots, and gloves, and guided by an experienced instructor, you’ll move safely and comfortably across the glass-still lake. Along the way, take a break for hot tea and cookies, letting the silence and alpine views sink in as you float on the mirrored surface.

Highlights include paddling past Ringgenberg Castle and enjoying panoramic views of steep cliffs, snowy ridges, and crystal-clear depths beneath your kayak. No previous experience is needed, and with small groups of no more than six, you receive personal attention and plenty of time to find your rhythm.

What makes this adventure special is that it shines in every condition. On a clear day, the lake sparkles with vibrant colors and endless views. On cloudy, rainy, or snowy days, the landscape transforms into a mystical scene straight out of a winter fairy tale. Either way, each outing reveals a unique side of the lake that stays with you long after you return to shore.

This is not just a tour- it’s a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and create memories that last a lifetime.
