Activity description

With family or friends, raft down the Tarn gorges from Les Vignes and have a fun and friendly time discovering the region!

Take a rafting trip down the waters of the Tarn and enjoy the magnificent scenery, rich in wildlife and wild flora. The Tarn River is a river that originates in the mountains of the Massif Central. It is about 380 kilometres long and flows through several departments, including Aveyron, Tarn and Lozère. It is a class 2 river, with a class 3 passage when the water level is higher. So depending on the season, you can have a different experience.

The ideal time for a sporty trip is usually spring or autumn, after the floods, when they occur. Then the route becomes more family-oriented until the beginning of August. Depending on the period, the descent will last between 2 and 3 hours and will cover a distance of 10 to 12 km.

This intimate activity allows you to embark, with your friends or family, in the same raft on the Tarn, on a guided course. You can enjoy a moment together, in safety and in a magnificent natural environment. Rafting in the Tarn gorges is also an opportunity to discover the local heritage while sharing this experience with your loved ones!

B&ABA sport nature will provide you with top of the range equipment, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout the activity. Accompanied by one of their state-qualified instructors, you are sure to have an unforgettable time in complete safety!

To add an element of surprise, we can tell you that you will visit an unusual and secret place during this rafting trip on the Tarn... But you will discover that on the day!

So what are you waiting for? Book your rafting trip down the Tarn gorges!
