Activity description

Go canoeing or kayakrafting on the Arve River from Passy and experience a sensational outdoor activity near Chamonix!

Canorafting and kayakrafting are ideal sports activities to experience the thrill of gliding on the water. Alone on a kayakraft or in pairs on a canoraft, you will descend the Arve in one of these boats, supervised by a guide. So choose your boat and get ready to experience the thrill of white water rafting in Haute-Savoie!

Your canoraft or kayakrafting trip on the Arve River will start in Passy. First, you will be equipped with the necessary equipment and safety instructions will be presented to you. You will then have the opportunity to experience 8 km of gliding between Passy and Sallanches, where the river is class 2, i.e. of an easy level. Ideal for discovering canoraft and kayakrafting, this descent of the Arve will take you through 6 medium level rapids, with large water movements. For about 1 hour, you will go on the assault of the rapids of the Arve in canoraft or kayak raft!

Session Raft is the first white water sports base in the Mont-Blanc region and has specialised in white water sports since 1982. Supervised by one of their professional guides, you will be in good hands to enjoy a sportive and sensational moment.

Only 30 minutes from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc by car, Passy is the ideal place to go canorafting or kayak rafting in Haute-Savoie. Indeed, the Arve River is located only 800 meters from our partner's base. This torrential river of the Alps has its source in the Mont-Blanc massif and is the main river of Haute-Savoie. Your journey will take you between the Aravis Range, Tête à l'Âne and Mont-Blanc. In this mountainous and wild setting, you will enjoy magnificent views that you will not forget!
