Air Boat Descent of the Giffre at Samoëns

Have you ever heard of the Gorges des Tines near Samoëns? Carved out by the Giffre, a wild Haute-Savoie river in the heart of an unspoilt environment, they're waiting for you to take up a challenge on an Air Boat! Alone on this inflatable kayak-type boat, you'll have to keep an eye on its direction while putting your energy into propelling it: a real sport! The Air Boat gives you stability and manoeuvring speed. It's easy to get the hang of, and you'll have a refreshingly sporty time!

This activity is semi-autonomous: a guide accompanies you on the river in his or her own boat. Beforehand, a briefing will teach you how to handle your paddle, understand a few Air Boat navigation techniques and learn the basics of river reading. After that, it's up to you!

The first few metres on the Giffre will allow the guide to check that you've understood the instructions before heading off through the gorges, then take to the rapids for a sporty and dynamic ride on an air boat just a stone's throw from Samoëns!

All along the way, you'll benefit from the expert advice of the guide who'll be at your side for the 7km descent between Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval and Samoëns. Don't be afraid - try this adrenalin-pumping Air Boat trip down the Giffre near Samoëns!
