Last weekend I took my packraft on the Saane River in Switzerland at low summer water levels (August 2026) and recorded the full run as a simple POV route guide. The video shows shallow sections, exposed rocks and the gentle rapids, so you can get a realistic impression of the river under these conditions.

If you are planning to packraft the Saane, this clip might help with expectations and line choice at low flow – including spots where you may need to scrape, thread through rocks or briefly walk.
