Do you want to discover rafting with your family on one of the most beautiful rivers in France for white-water sports? Our "Discovery" rafting is perfect for you!
Children and adults will share an unforgettable descent aboard our inflatable rafts – laughter and splashes guaranteed!
Tour programme
We will meet you at the Arc Aventures - Base d'eaux-vives reception chalet, 10 minutes before the start of the session. Your guide will have you sign the standard documents and show you the equipment you will be using once on the water. Your activity will then start very quickly because your starting point is located right next to the base. A State-certified guide will be present on the boat and will remind you of all the good attitude to have on the water. You will spend between 45 minutes and 1 hour on the Isère, with some rapids and in the majority a calmer part where you can admire the Valley of the Tarentaise. Plan a camera to capture this idyllic moment with your group. In the end, you will be driven back to our base by bus after your activity. There you will be able to rest and get back on the road with your head full of memories!
