Activity description

Discover Savoie on a mountain bike and packraft expedition to Lac du Bourget, near Chambéry, with Secret River instructors!

Measuring nearly 18 kilometers in length, Lac du Bourget is France's largest natural lake. Located in the heart of the Massif des Bauges regional nature park and bordered by the towns of Aix-les-Bains and Le Bourget-du-Lac, Lac du Bourget offers breathtaking scenery! With water temperatures regularly between 20 and 25°C in summer, the lake is ideal for water sports activities such as paddling, kayaking and packraft. Discover the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park off the beaten track in an activity that respects the region's heritage and biodiversity!

You'll start your mountain bike tour in Bourget-du-Lac, heading for the shores of Lac du Bourget. Once in Grésine Bay, you'll cruise along the wild shores of Lac du Bourget in a packraft. A hybrid of sea kayak and raft, the packraft is a lightweight inflatable kayak.

Accompanied by a qualified canoeing instructor, admire the gigantic expanses of water of Lac du Bourget and the impressive cliffs of the Bauges massif! Whether you're with family or friends, enjoy a half-day or a full day of an original, eco-responsible activity combining mountain biking and packraft boating in Savoie!
