Important remarks about the rafting

Rafting is an adventure sport, and a wild river is not harmless: You must know swimming and be in normal health-condition. Alcohol before and during the rafting is strictly forbidden. Before the raft you get introduced to the techniques of controlling the boat, and each boat is lead by an experienced rafter. A neoprene-wetsuit, a helmet and a life jacket protect you. If you wear glasses, we recommend you to fix them with a rubber band as they can easily fall off.

Insurance

IAESTE Switzerland is not responsible for anything in case of an accident. Make sure that you are well insured.

Have a look at the List of Participants

Participation after signing up to this event is mandatory. Because places are limited we kindly ask you to cancel at least 5 days before the event if you can't participate. This gives IAESTE enough time to find a person to replace you. If you don't show up for the weekend without proper cancellation you will be charged for the full price for reasons of fairness.
