About
Founded in 1987 by three nature and sports enthusiasts, the company Rivières et Aventures was born from a desire to showcase the Pays-d'Enhaut in a different way, through outdoor sporting experiences.
As a pioneer in French-speaking Switzerland, it was the first rafting company on the Sarine and rapidly established itself as one of the national benchmarks for canyoning (water trekking) and hydrospeed.
True to its innovative spirit, Rivières et Aventures continues to innovate by being the first in Switzerland to offer the Snooc, and among the first to offer the Yooner, accessible and fun winter activities.
