Immerse in the water and face the current with our certified instructor. With your board and flippers, you will cross rapids and waves. For 1h filled with adrenaline, come and try the hydrospeed in the Dranse!
Don't hesitate and come and discover hydrospeed with our state-qualified guides. An activity rich in sensations and laughter!Tour programme
We meet at the base 15 minutes before the booked time. After receiving the equipment you can put it on in our changing rooms. When you are ready we will take you by bus to the point of entry where we will teach you to paddle and give you some instructions on the path and safety. The tour is simple and so we'll approach the rapids carefully. After approximately 1h on the river (depending on the water level and the time of year), you will arrive at the base directly. To help you unwind after all the excitement, a volleyball court, a ping-pong table, and games such as pétanque and Mölkky are available for free on site.
If you'd like something to eat, a picnic area and a food truck are also available on site.Tour facts
