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!

Well organised and made the best of the river even though water was low in some places. We had a full two hours of fun. Lovely bar for a drink at the end. It always seems a bit expensive when you book. But when we finished we all agreed it was great value.

Great introduction to white water rafting. Staff were excellent and we could not fault them in any way. I have done rafting in bigger rivers with bigger more exciting rapids in New Zealand and in Zimbabwe but this was perfect for introducing my teenage boys.

We booked rafting for the six of us. Due to low water this year the company explained we’d be in two person kayak/rafts. The instructor was excellent and we had a great time on the river. Nice to have a drink in the riverside bar afterwards to swop stories.
