Once the walkers and hikers have returned to the valley, it's time for the real Stockhorn adventure to start: After the scheduled Stockhornbahn rides have finished, the courageous bungee jumpers catch a leisurely cable car ride up toward the Stockhorn. But instead of continuing to the mountain station, they get out (or rather, jump out) the gondola when it's only halfway up. During the 134-metre jump they are literally hanging on the end of a rope: for this is exactly how long it is before they hit the waters of the Hinterstockensee. Those who wish to, can opt for a "bungee dip" – and end up in the water for a short dip.

If you want to get really close up and personal with the unique rock formations and crystal clear water, all you have to do is pluck up the courage and front up at the Grimselwelt for a spot of canyoning. Start out at the Grimsel Pass and descend at the end of a rope 50 metres down into the gorge. Down below you can watch the young and boisterous Aare river as it wends its way among the rocks. Then it's time to spend two hours in the company of an experienced guide as you explore the fascinating world of water. Slide, swim, jump and dive. You do not necessarily have to have good swimming skills, but you do need to be physically fit, at least 14 years old, and not weigh more than 125 kilos.

As far as rafters are concerned, the stretch along the Lütschine is one of the most exciting in all the Alps. So it is not for nothing that the website clearly warns that it is “only suitable for athletic and courageous participants”. If you are brave enough (and fit enough), you board the boat below the Eiger North Face and safely negotiate the several class three and four (difficult and very difficult) white-water rapids along the picturesque Brienz river as far as your destination. With all the turbulence and spray you would think you were down at the foot of Niagara Falls – but luckily, each participant is given a waterproof suit and a helmet before setting out. And the fact that afterwards, most people take a dip in the tranquil waters of Lake Brienz speaks volumes for just how wonderful this wild and watery “Lütschine” adventure really is.
