Chocolate Fondue Float on Lake Brienz: Guided Afternoon Raft

Chocolate and mountain views from a raft, without paddling

A guided afternoon float on Lake Brienz in the Swiss Alps where you enjoy chocolate fondue, warm tea and white wine from a raft while a professional guide handles all navigation. The experience lasts around two hours and includes blankets, a life jacket and fondue with marshmallows, fruits, pretzels and biscuits from Funky Chocolate Club Interlaken. Available in English or German.

The experience

You arrive at Lake Brienz with a free afternoon and no plan to fill it. This activity solves that: a guide meets you, hands you a life jacket and blanket, and launches a raft into the water. For the next two hours, the guide steers while you sit back with a fondue pot, dipping marshmallows, fruits, pretzels and biscuits into melted chocolate. The Bernese Oberland peaks ring the lake, and the guide navigates so you never have to think about direction or balance: only about the meal in front of you and the mountains around it.

Warm tea and white wine come with the fondue, and the blanket matters: afternoons on the water cool down fast, even in summer. The chocolate itself is from Funky Chocolate Club Interlaken, a local maker, so it tastes like something you came to Switzerland to eat, not a generic dessert. The guide speaks English or German and knows the lake well enough to position the raft where the light and the view work best for the time of day you're there.
