1. Oeschinen Lake – Toboggan run

The Oeschinen Lake in the Bernese Oberland is one of the most eye-captivating mountain lakes in Switzerland. During winter, the lake would freeze and pave way for ice fishing among the locals, which is one of the most fun adventurous things to do in Switzerland. Apart from the regular ski trails and backcountry skiing, you could try out the toboggan run. Toboggan is a narrow vehicle used for gliding on ice or snow. While you are indulging in thrill scenes, don’t miss out on enjoying a splendid view of Doldenhorn mountains.

2.  Geneva, Lucerne, Interlaken – Paragliding

Paragliding is an adventure sport where you get to glide your way out in the air with the help of a tandem pilot. When you are soaring up and gliding smooth, lose yourself and capture the moments by taking in the breathtaking beauty around you. This is definitely one of the best adventurous things to do in Switzerland.
