Hydrospeed on Isère River - Gorges CourseHave you never heard about hydrospeed? Here is a good opportunity, because it's a thrilling whitewater sport. The principle is fairly easy: take a float, a pair of flippers and abandon yourself to the white water. If you love swimming or look for a refreshing activity, hydrospeed is what you need. You will spend 100% of the time in the water and have the opportunity to understand better how the river flows work - and who knows, maybe to even tame them. 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 2.5-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!
