Embark on a fantastic journey on one of the most beautiful rivers in the Southern Alps! Raft down the Durance river in Embrun with a state-certified instructor.

A Raft is an inflatable boat that can accommodate from 4 to 12 persons. Rafting is a very fun and friendly activity and also the best way to discover whitewater sports.

The Durance River
The Durance flows in a large sun-drenched valley. It offers thrilling grade 3 rapids and calmer zones to make the most of the landscape and play with the currents.
