Gold panning Switzerland

Gold panning family

The yellow glittering precious metal has always had an attractive effect on people. There are many ways to find gold. With the help of experienced guides, you can experience and learn the secrets of gold panning in Switzerland. It's hard to believe, but there are still some areas in Switzerland where gold can be found and where you can search for gold under supervision. Gold panning is a fascinating activity that you can enjoy with your family, friends, and colleagues. Gold panning is not dependent on age. From children to grandparents, everyone has the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of gold panning and learn how to pan for gold. The Napf region is one of the most famous areas in Switzerland for gold panning. Gold panning adventure days are also held here under expert guidance.

Voucher / Appointment

When panning for gold, your guide will show you how to mine gold from what appears to be normal gravel. After a brief introduction, you'll start panning for gold in the best places. You fill your pan with gravel and will be amazed at how quickly you can extract the first glittering shavings from the gravel. After panning for gold, you can use the fire pit on site (food is provided by the participant) before panning for gold in the afternoon. Who would have thought that you could wash even more gold out of the river using this method? At the end of the day you can of course take home the gold you have recovered and a gold panning certificate. Gold panning with the whole family or with your friends promises to be a unique experience. Let yourself be infected by the golden glow and experience the magic of panning for gold!

We had a wonderful day in the Napf region. Our course leader Dominik knew perfectly how to show us how gold panning works. He supported us in our first attempts with a lot of humor, encouraged us and had incredible patience. He gave us lots of tips and helped everyone to get a few flakes of gold. Dominik took care of the fire in good time and we were able to put our cervelats on the barbecue at 12.00 noon. Thank you very much for this unforgettable day, everything was just right!
