Winter Kayak
If heights aren’t your thing but you still crave for some direct contact with Mother Nature, gather your friends and head to the crystalline waters of Lake Brienz, which is the perfect spot for kayaking at this time of the year. In the middle of the tour, take a break for some tea and biscuits by the lakeside and recharge your batteries with the beauty of this outstanding scenario.
