OUTDOOR - Interlaken Base

OUTDOOR - Interlaken Base is a true adrenaline hub and the main starting point for all adventure seekers in the region. Located in the picturesque village of Wilderswil, right next to the town of Interlaken, this modern base serves as a gateway between tourists and the majestic Alps that Switzerland is famous for.

This is not just a tour booking office, but a high-tech complex where every serious journey begins. Here, guests meet professional guides, receive detailed briefings, and get first-class equipment for canyoning, rafting, or paragliding. The building is designed with an emphasis on sustainability and functionality, featuring spacious changing rooms, training areas, a modern climbing wall, and even a freestyle hall.

Thanks to its location and wide range of services, the base has become a key element of the region's image as the "Adventure Capital of Europe." Whether it's a family outdoor trip or extreme whitewater rafting, this venue ensures comfort and safety at every stage of your active holiday.

To clarify program details, book adventures, or rent equipment, you can contact the base staff directly. The team is multilingual and always ready to help you choose the right tour.

The base offers an incredible range of activities available year-round. In summer, visitors can go on thrilling rafting trips down rushing rivers, challenge themselves with canyoning by exploring narrow gorges and waterfalls, or enjoy a paragliding flight with views of snow-capped peaks. For water fun enthusiasts, jet boat rides and relaxing tube floats are also available.

The winter season transforms the base into a hub for snow sports. Here you can rent skis and snowboards, as well as sign up for unique night sledding runs. This adventure includes a funicular ride through the dark forest and a traditional dinner with Swiss fondue in a cozy mountain hut, creating a unique Alpine fairy-tale atmosphere.

For family vacations, the Adventure Park is ideal—a rope course with several trails of varying difficulty suitable for children aged 10 and up. The base also offers special packages, such as the Ultimate Family Package, which allow you to combine several activities at a great price, ensuring a fun-filled and safe experience under the supervision of experienced instructors.

Reaching the activity base is easy, as it is located within walking distance of the central part of town. A stroll from the center of Interlaken takes only about 10–15 minutes. For those who prefer public transport, local buses run regularly nearby, and a taxi ride from the nearest train station is quick and convenient.

The facility is located at Hauptstrasse 15 in Matten bei Interlaken, while the main technical base for adventures is situated in neighboring Wilderswil. If you have booked a specific tour, such as rafting or canyoning, the company often organizes convenient transfers in branded minivans directly to the activity's starting point, significantly simplifying logistics for tourists.

For travelers with their own or a rental car, parking is provided on-site or in a nearby indoor garage. The Interlaken airfield (Flugplatz-Interlaken), located near the base's main operational zones, can also serve as a landmark.

OUTDOOR Interlaken has been a key player in the adventure tourism market of the Jungfrau region for over twenty years. During this time, a small community of enthusiasts has grown into a large-scale organization that helped secure the town's unofficial status as the "Adventure Capital of Europe."

The modern base building in Wilderswil was designed and built according to strict sustainable development principles. The owners sought to minimize environmental impact by using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient technologies, which is especially important for preserving the unique Alpine nature.

Interestingly, the base serves not only as a meeting point but also as a high-tech training center. It houses the Orbit climbing wall and the Paenda freestyle hall, where professional athletes and beginners can hone their skills in a safe environment before heading out to real rocks or glaciers.

The amount of time you spend at the base depends directly on your chosen activity. If your goal is simply to book a tour, get a consultation, or rent ski equipment, 30–60 minutes will be sufficient. The staff works efficiently to help you find the right gear quickly.

To participate in a full adventure, such as visiting the Adventure Park or night sledding, it is recommended to set aside 3 to 5 hours. This period includes safety briefings, gear preparation, and the activity itself. The optimal solution is to plan for a half-day visit to enjoy the process without rushing.

The activity base operates on a convenient schedule, allowing tourists to plan their adventures both early in the morning and throughout the day. The facility is open daily, including weekends, which is especially convenient for those visiting the region for just a few days.

Opening Hours:
Monday – Sunday: 08:00 – 18:00.

Please note that the start times for group tours and extreme programs (such as night sledding) may differ from standard office hours, so it is recommended to check the schedule when booking.

Exploring the surroundings after an active day is a great way to complement your travel experience. Many historical monuments and natural locations are concentrated near the base, allowing you to see the region from a different perspective.
