Activity description

Want to experience a sensational outdoor activity in Haute-Savoie? Go rafting on the Arve from Chamonix!

Rafting is a fun activity that can be enjoyed with family or friends in groups of 3 to 8 people, guided by a professional instructor. All together, you will have to navigate the rapids of the river with the help of your paddles. To make the most of this activity, our partner offers you two routes: a 6 km family route and an 8 km sports route.

In both cases, you will go down the Arve in a rafting boat designed to accommodate up to 8 people. Your rafting trip will be on a class 2 section of the river, which is an easy level. From Chamonix, you will go for an eventful descent with your family or friends!

Session Raft is the first white water sports base in the Mont Blanc region and has been specialising in white water sports since 1982. Supervised by one of their professional guides, you will be in good hands to enjoy a fun moment with your group! For about 1 hour, you will go on the assault of the Arve rapids!

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is the ideal place to go rafting in Haute-Savoie. Indeed, the Arve 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 route will take you between the Grandes Jorasses, Tête à l'Âne and Mont-Blanc. In this mountainous and wild setting, you will enjoy magnificent views that you will not forget!

Don't wait any longer to experience the thrill of rafting in a group in Haute-Savoie, book your rafting trip down the Arve from Chamonix!

Sur les eaux de l'Arve, grâce à nos malicieux, attentifs et très pros "capitaines", on s'amuse, on s'émerveille, on se prend pour des aventuriers, on retrouve son âme d'enfant, on n'a pas envie de rentrer. Merci!!!
