Whitewater adventure: Glacier rafting at the foot of the Matterhorn

Experience the thrill of the Matterhorn's glacial rapids: rafting and relaxation in Visp!

The glacial river par excellence! Born at the foot of the majestic Matterhorn glaciers, it will surprise you with its contrasts: peaceful and playful at times, then fast-paced and effervescent with the summer heat. The descent takes place on the Vispa. At the camp site in Visp, enjoy the swimming pool or combine your rafting adventure with a relaxing break at the Brigerbad thermal baths, just 10 minutes from our base.
