Fun for All Rafting – Family Tour on the Flaz and Inn Rivers
A scenic whitewater adventure through the heart of the Swiss Alps, built for families and first-timers alike.
Family river rafting in Engadin offers a rare combination of accessible adventure and breathtaking alpine scenery on two of Switzerland's most picturesque waterways. The Flaz and Inn rivers wind through a protected mountain valley, delivering a journey that is both exhilarating and genuinely suitable for participants of varying ages and experience levels. This tour is designed to create lasting memories without requiring prior rafting knowledge.
The Engadin valley in the canton of Graubünden sits at one of the highest inhabited valleys in Europe, and the rivers here carry a character shaped by glacial meltwater and dramatic terrain. Paddling through this landscape gives participants an immersive perspective on the region that no road or trail can replicate. Rocky banks, clear water, and the surrounding mountain panorama form the backdrop for every stroke of the paddle.
Certified guides accompany the group throughout the journey, providing safety instruction, paddling coaching, and local context about the environment. The moderate difficulty rating means there is genuine whitewater engagement without the intensity suited only to experienced paddlers. Children and adults share the same raft, making this a cohesive family or group experience rather than a divided activity.

Tour Itinerary
Upon arrival at the meeting point in Engadin, guides greet participants and conduct a thorough safety briefing. Equipment fitting takes place here, including wetsuits, helmets, and personal flotation devices.
Before entering the water, the guide introduces basic paddle techniques and group commands used during the run. This short on-land session prepares everyone for effective teamwork on the raft.
The group enters the Flaz, a tributary of the Inn, where initial sections of moderate whitewater provide an engaging warm-up. The clear alpine water and forested banks set the tone for the journey ahead.
After navigating the Flaz, the raft reaches the confluence with the Inn River, one of the major rivers of the Alps. The Inn offers wider channels and a mix of calmer stretches and lively rapids through the valley floor.
