Hydrospeed Descent on the Isère River near La Plagne

The Isère River rises from the Sources de l’Isère glacier beneath the Grande Aiguille Rousse, near the Col de la Vache in Savoie, before flowing into the Rhône a few kilometres north of Valence. Stretching over 286 km, it provides an ideal playground for white-water sports such as rafting, hydrospeed, and canoe-rafting.

Choose this hydrospeed activity on the Isère and try this unique discipline, also known as “white-water swimming”. Equipped with a float and flippers, you’ll make your way down the river right in the heart of the rapids. If you’re a thrill-seeker with strong swimming skills, you’re sure to enjoy this exhilarating and immersive experience.

Depending on your preferences, three routes are available:

• The Centron Gorges descent – the ideal option for beginners in hydrospeed.
• The advanced descent (Bellentre to Aime) – perfect for those looking to progress further.
• The “must” descent (Bellentre to Centron) – the ultimate hydrospeed challenge on the Isère.
