*prices based on a minimum 40 passengers per departure
Set in the outstanding natural surroundings of the Bernese Oberland, this World Scout centre was founded in 1923 by Lord Baden-Powell after the first World Scout Jamboree, to provide a place where Scouts from all over the world could meet. It is now the perfect location for combining adventure with international friendship and fun.
There won’t seem enough hours in a day for your Troop as they try their hand at rock climbing, river rafting, mountain biking, summer tobogganing and much, much more. The surrounding network of walking and hiking paths provides endless opportunities for exploring - venture through the mountain passes, take a break by the deep blue mountain streams or, for the more adventurous amongst you, take the paths up into the mountain tops to discover the spectacular Swiss glaciers. One of the highlights of a trip to KISC for many of our groups is meeting Scouts from all over the world.
Kanderactive Programme
Kandersteg International Scout Centre offers an excellent variety of activities and excursions to ensure that your group has the experience of a lifetime. With the vast array of activities suitable all year round, there’s certain to be something for your group to take part in, whatever the weather!
