Details
For thrill-seekers, there's nothing like a hydrospeed trip to feel the adrenaline pumping through your veins! White water swimming allows you to have fun on the Rhône, as close as possible to the current. In the heart of the water, with your reinforced foam float, your fins and your good mood, you will feel the waves more than on a raft or a canoe and will have to double your efforts to tackle the rapids. Of course, your state-certified guide will be at your side to guide you along the river and make sure you have fun in complete safety.
Tour programme
- Preparation:
We welcome you at our base in Sierre or at the meeting point determined after the booking, where we present and explain the activity. Then, the equipment will be provided and you have time to get changed. When you are ready, we will transport you to the starting point, which takes us only a few minutes by bus.
- Tour:
There, a safety briefing awaits you, after which we will finally begin our white water descent. The guide will let you know which rapids to take and when to marvel at the panorama.
- Return:
Once we reach the arrival point, we take the bus back to the base (15 min).
