Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Come and measure yourself against the rapids of the Giffre on board a raft, an 8-seater boat that will offer you sensations and challenges as a group!
Whether you are a beginner, an amateur or a rafting enthusiast, Nunayak offers you the opportunity to go down the Giffre River from Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval for an unforgettable experience in the rapids! From a 2 hours discovery trip to Samoëns, a half-day trip or a full-day trip, it's impossible not to find the rafting trip that suits you. In all cases, you will be accompanied by a qualified guide in the raft, except for the more adventurous who choose the Xpert trip where the guide will be in his own boat behind yours.
With direct access to the Giffre River, you will leave from the Nunayak base in Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval where you will be equipped with all the necessary rafting gear. After a briefing on the activity and the safety instructions, you will be able to take on the rapids during this refreshing moment! The Giffre river has its source in the Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval, a marvel of the Haut-Giffre valley in Haute-Savoie, and meanders between the villages until it joins the Arve.
Thanks to this rafting trip on the Giffre, you are sure to have a great time with your family or friends just a stone's throw from Samoëns!
An invigorating and friendly 2 hours walk in a majestic atmosphere, from Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval to Samoëns.
