Hydrospeed – Ride the River from Within

Wearing a reinforced neoprene wetsuit, a helmet, a life vest, flippers, and holding on to a foam or plastic float, you’ll dive head-first into a thrilling and physical river experience.

Hydrospeed is a dynamic, physically demanding activity, ideal for those with a sporty mindset.
With your face just above the water, you'll be carried by the flow of the Sarine – and even have the chance to surf its waves.

The classic route runs from Saanen to Rougemont, through the spectacular Vanel Gorges.
The activity starts at our base in Château-d’Oex, where you'll gear up and be transferred by minibus to the starting point.

For experienced participants, it's possible to extend the run to 15 km or to choose a more technical section for an added challenge.
