Activity description

Go stand up paddling near Chamonix and enjoy a memorable experience in Haute-Savoie, on Lake Passy or on the Arve River !

Stand up paddling can be the easiest or the most challenging sport! Depending on whether you choose to stand up paddle (SUP) on the calm waters of Lake Passy or on the torrential river Arve, you will have a totally different experience. If you've never SUP'd before, trying it out on calm waters first is essential to learn the basic techniques and to familiarise yourself with the discipline. However, if you already know the zen feeling of riding a SUP on a lake but prefer the thrill of the ride, SUP on the Arve River is the sporting experience for you!

In any case, go to Passy to meet our partner who will be happy to welcome you to share a stand up paddle activity near Chamonix. Once you are equipped, you can either learn to SUP on the lake of Passy, or experience the thrill of speed and glide on the Arve river.

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 your stand up paddle activity in Haute-Savoie!

Only 30 minutes from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc by car, Passy is the ideal place to go SUPing in Haute-Savoie. Indeed, the lake located in Passy is the perfect place for your outdoor activities close to the town centre. As for the Arve River, it 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!
