Activity description

Go down the Aude in a canoe raft upstream from Axat, on the border between the Eastern Pyrenees and the Aude regions: sensations guaranteed!

The canoe raft is an inflatable boat (canoe type) that can accommodate up to 2 people and allows you to discover the river through the rapids, on an adapted course. It is a team sport where everyone is involved in the smooth running of the descent. You will practise safety manoeuvres and discover a valley that is still wild in places, while at the same time enjoying the sensations!

You will be on the Aude river which allows you to practice rafting on two different courses, with a different level of commitment for each one. The Aude offers an ideal setting for white water sports such as canoe rafting! Competitors and beginners alike will find a course to suit their desires for this descent into the Pyrenees, located one hour from Perpignan and two hours from Toulouse.

Sud Rafting welcomes you to its nautical base before equipping you with a neoprene suit, a waistcoat, a helmet and a paddle. The canoe rafts are designed for a maximum of 2 people. A safety briefing will be given on the water before departure so that all crew members are aware of the different manoeuvres required to control a canoe raft in the rapids.

Two canoe rafting routes are proposed to allow everyone to enjoy the experience:

Quillan - Campagne-sur-Aude - departure from Quillan, 10km from the Sud Rafting base. The course is aimed primarily at children and reluctant adults. Arrival 2 hours later in Campagne-sur-Aude.

Total duration of the activity: about 3 hours

Gorges de Saint-Georges - Axat - departure from the Nicoleau bridge upstream from Axat for a 7km trip. Initiation (learning safety techniques, turning over, etc) in the slalom pool in Axat.

Total duration of the activity: 2 hours

Sud Rafting will take care of your transportation for the activity: from their base in Quillan or at the start of the Saint-Georges course, and the return to Campagne-sur-Aude.
