Rafting doesn't always mean impetuous rapids and capsizing, proof being with our three discovery itineraries on the Rhône. They will introduce you to this whitewater activity in complete tranquillity. This calm and reassuring route can be enjoyed from 6 years old and is ideal for an outing with friends or family. You will paddle while having fun under the benevolent and watchful eye of your certified instructor, who directs the boat. Our rafts equipped to embark crews up to 15 people are adapted to experience maximum thrills, manoeuvrability and safety.
Tour programme - Preparation:We welcome you
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 whitewater descent. Relaxing sections and challenges alternate along the route, delighting those who love to paddle as well as those who love to contemplate the landscape!
