About us: We are an international Team of professional Raftguides, that have been running these Trips in the name of Bergbahnen Scuol AG since the Year 2000. All guides at Engadin Adventure have many years of international rafting experience and are Swiss and internationally licensed. Our guides are also qualified white-water rescue technicians and are first aid qualified. At this point, a huge Thanks to all our regulars that have been with us over all these years 🙂 …. see’ya on the river!
Running one of the most exciting white-water rivers in Europe demands attention to detail and safety. At Engadin Adventure safety is present at every level of our operation. Each year we undergo a safety audit that is carried on behalf of Safety in Adventures foundation of Switzerland by the SGS. Passing these audits confirms that we follow industry best practice standards and operate in accordance legal statutes as laid out by Swiss Federal Law.
Engadin Adventure uses high quality international rafting equipment from recognized white-water outfitters and all of our guests are fitted out with neoprene wetsuits, neoprene shoes, jackets, white-water rafting buoyancy aids and helmets before we go on the river.
