Explore Lake Morat in a canoe
"Everyone is in the same boat." That's easy to say, but what does it actually mean? Find out and take your team on a varied canoe trip on Lake Murten. This is located in the cantons of Fribourg and Vaud and although it is the smallest of the three Jura waters, it has a lot to offer and is also the warmest lake in the region. On the guided tour you will enjoy great views and discover secluded swimming spots. You can book the water experience as a half-day tour or as a day tour and make an excursion on land halfway.
Team spirit in the big canoe
In the tilt-resistant large canoe with a maximum of nine people plus guide, you will make rapid progress, even if not everyone paddles all the time. But the idea is already that each team member contributes to the locomotion. The round trip starts in the harbor of Murten. Soon you will enjoy magnificent views of Mont Vully and its vineyards. Would you like to dock at the natural shore and swim and linger here? Or how about a visit to the well-kept old town of Murten? "Everyone is in the same boat": this also means that you agree on how you want to shape the tour and in which direction you will steer together.
