Senior Whitewater Rafting Guide (Class IV)
Rafting.ch | Matten b. Interlaken Base
We are seeking a seasoned Class IV guide to join our team at the Interlaken base for the 2026 season. If you have spent the last decade navigating commercial rivers and still find joy in every run, we encourage you to apply.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Leading commercial rafting trips on the Lütschine and surrounding rivers, guiding mixed-ability groups safely through Class III-IV whitewater.
- Being a key part of a small, tight-knit operation that values initiative.
- Mentoring less experienced guides to enhance team performance.
- Ensuring a high-quality guest experience from briefing to takeout.
What We Need:
- 10+ years of commercial whitewater guiding experience.
- A confident Class III swiftwater skill set in both guiding and rescue scenarios.
- Valid first aid/swiftwater rescue certification (WFR, SRT, or equivalent).
- Experience leading multi-guide trips and working with international guest groups.
- Fluency in English; proficiency in German or other languages is a bonus.
What Makes a Great Fit:
You’re not looking for your first season on the water — you have the experience, know the spills, and read a group just as easily as you read a river. You remain calm under pressure, are skilled with people, and prioritize safety without overwhelming guests with lectures.
What We Offer:
- Competitive seasonal wage based on experience.
- A small, experienced team with a no-nonsense culture.
- Located in one of the best outdoor hubs in the Alps.
- Potential for multi-season commitment.
