Details
As its name suggests, this easy rafting tour is perfect for those discovering the activity. We will paddle for 7 km down the Isère, an acclaimed river in the whitewater sports world. Rafting is certainly the most accessible river sport: the large boats come with stability, teamwork and enable a state-certified guide to be on board with you. Of course, it's also super exciting and it is always a highlight of the holidays for everyone!
Tour programme
For this tour, let's meet at our base in the heart of the Tarentaise valley. A free car park awaits you here. We will then provide you with the equipment, give you a short introduction and brief you on safety instructions. Under the supervision of one of our state-certified guide, we will drive to the starting point on the river and begin our adventure. After a 1.5-hour tour sliding down the river, we will arrive right beside our base, back in Centron. It's time to change into dry clothing again but not time to leave! Take a bath - a sun one, this time - or enjoy the picturesque landscape while chilling out on the grass. There is a restaurant right next door, if the tour has given you an appetite!
