Embark on a fantastic journey on one of the most beautiful rivers in the Southern Alps! From Embrun, you'll paddle down the Durance river aboard a cano-raft with a state-certified instructor.

On the edge of the Ecrins National Park, the Durance is the largest river in Provence. With more than 300 km, it takes its source in Briançon, crosses the lake of Serre-Ponçon and flows into the Rhone. It offers thrilling grade 3 rapids and calmer zones to make the most of the landscape and play with the currents.

A cano-raft is an inflatable canoe that can accommodate 2 people. It's a very fun and friendly activity and also a good way to discover whitewater sports.
