Full description
This rafting experience is ideal for those who want to try anadrenaline-filled and fun experience and have a first contact with the river.
Whether you are with friends, colleagues or family, your guide will accompany you throughout the trip and you will be able to enjoy the unique experience of riding the most exciting rapids in complete safety.
The programme includes an easy rafting descent at the foot of Mont Blanc along the Dora Baltea, with second-degree rapids where balance games, diving and bathing in the Marais Nature Reserve will be proposed.
What we will do
After a short 15-minute briefing on navigation techniques and safety, we will assign the nautical equipment and embark directly from our base to sail 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, a briefing on basic safety rules, transfers with shuttles within the activity, and navigation time determined by the flow and speed of the river.
Who it is aimed at
An ideal trip for beginners, families, people with disabilities, and for those who want to get to know this activity by dedicating just a couple of hours to it. You can participate with a weight under 125 kg.
The minimum age is 7 years and everyone can participate in our activities as long as they have good aquatic skills and are not afraid of water.
