We start directly at our base in Thonon after putting on our high-quality equipment and getting to know the rest of the group.

Our starting point is located right next to the base and a short bus ride will allow you to get in the thick of it very quickly. We will then be on the Dranse for a refreshing hour with a touch of sporty rafting. We will even have the opportunity to swim directly in the currents.
