Activity description
Take on the rapids of the beautiful Giffre river in the Alps in rafting, a sensational group activity!
Your raft will evolve on the Giffre river in Haute-Savoie, near Samoëns, a mountain river in the heart of a preserved nature which will reserve you many surprises with in particular the crossing of the Gorges des Tines, accessible entirely by boat only!
Rafting is an activity accessible to beginners and is practiced in teams, a real challenge of coordination! You will navigate on an unsinkable boat of 8 people, with a guide who will take care of your safety.

Rafting is the ideal activity for a moment of "relaxation-sport" with family or friends. It is by paddling together, aiming at the same direction that you will forge unforgettable memories! The group effect makes rafting fun. The youngest will be able to experience their first sensations on the water in complete safety, from 6 years old.
