The lifeline

Moving in and on water is definitely one of the most versatile ways to experience the power and tranquility of the elements. We can use a lake for transportation, if we feel like it we can take a refreshing dip, or we can be daring and jump off of a small ledge. Stopping for a picnic or spending the night at one of the various locations at the lakeside could turn into an unforgettable adventure.

Our private guide water activities, kayaking, stand up paddling and sailing grant an exclusive form of movement in one of the most vital of all elements. Our instructors have been in tune with water for years and would love to share their knowledge and experience with you.

stand up paddle

Honestly, you don’t need an instructor in order to learn how to stand up paddle, it is very easy and progress can be made fast. However, should you already feel confident on your board and are simply looking to have a picnic at a secluded spot or even on your paddle board, we will gladly accompany you.

Stand up paddling has become very popular in the last few years. Besides being a lot of fun, it is also an all-round fitness program. It requires constant balance, training and exercising all muscle groups extensively. Paddling also balances our mind, especially while out on long tours…

Stand up paddling mainly takes place on the lake, however we also have the possibility to go from point a to point b by way of a river. A perfectly suitable body of water herefor is the Aare river. Similarly to the multi-day kayak tours, we can put together a tour including an overnight stay along the river bank.

You can either take part with your own equipment or use what we provide for you.

sailing

Sailing on our large yachts, you will experience a perfect interplay between tension and calm. During the maneuvers your pulse rises, your attention is fully directed to the assigned task. Between the tacks or jibes guided by the skipper, you can relax and enjoy the elements and the impressive view.

We are happy to share with you the great passion of this ancient, archaic sport. Come aboard, enjoy the lake and the surrounding mountains. Together we hoist the sails and let the power of the wind move us.

The yachts can accommodate from five to twelve people, depending on your choice. Each yacht is accompanied by a professional skipper, you are welcome to take the helm yourself at times under supervision.

Sailing can be combined as a half-day program with another private-guides.ch offer. We love the addition of a fine picnic on the lakeshore, an e-bike tour, a paragliding passenger flight or a hike on little-used trails.

kayak

The lake glistens in the sun, a slight breeze caresses the tip of your nose as you glide across the lake with almost meditative paddle strokes. Experience the tranquility and the seclusion of an unforgettable kayak trip in a majestic landscape. To top off our adventure, we will serve you a tasty picnic on the lakeside before paddling back to our starting point towards the setting sun.

For the more courageous and experienced outdoor enthusiasts, we offer multi-day tours with overnight stays in a bivy under the starry skies or at a camp set up on the shore.

An even more exclusive option is an expedition-like multi-day tour on a river: most sections of the river are navigable by kayak and ensure a once in a lifetime experience; starting almost at the river source taking you all the way to the junction with the Rhine river.

The overnight stays on this option are bivouacs at fantastic locations along the river. Your private guide will take care of all the organizational matters such as meals and transfers.
