Full description
This rafting experience is ideal for those who want to try an adrenaline-filled and fun experience and have a first contact with the river.
Whether you are among friends, colleagues or family, your guide will accompany you throughout the trip and you will enjoy the unique experience of riding the most exciting rapids in complete safety.
The programme includes an easy rafting descent at the foot of the Monte Bianco along the Dora Baltea, with second-degree rapids where you will play balancing games, dive and swim in the Marais Nature Reserve.
What we will do
After a brief 15-minute briefing on navigation techniques and safety, we will hand out the nautical equipment and embark directly from our base to navigate along the Dora Baltea for 3 km between Morgex and la Salle, an easy but extremely fun stretch of river, even for children, who can participate with or without an accompanying parent, subject of course to the latter's authorisation. From the age of 7, it is indeed possible to experience "grown-up emotions" in complete safety.
The duration of the activity is approximately 90 minutes. Times include dressing and undressing, briefing on elementary safety rules, shuttle transfers within the activity and the navigation time determined by the flow and speed of the river.
Who it is aimed at
This trip is ideal for beginners, families, people with disabilities, and anyone who wants to get to know this activity while spending just a couple of hours. You can participate with a weight under 125 kg.
The minimum age is 7 years old and everyone can participate in our activities as long as they have good aquatic skills and are not afraid of water.
