The programme involves navigating two stretches of river of increasing difficulty with third-degree rapids in an evocative setting at the foot of Mont Blanc.
Therafting descent is perfect in terms of duration and logistics and suitable for everyone, even those with no previous experience, to create aggregation and confidence with the river.
What we will do
Before the descent, the Guide will instruct the crew and illustrate manoeuvres and safety measures in order to introduce even the most inexperienced to the main river navigation techniques.
The Baptism Top programme includes 6 km of navigation along the Dora Baltea, enriching the Baptism experience by remaining in Valdigne.
Departing from our base after the 3 km stretch of river between Morgex and La Salle, we will transfer with our shuttles upstream of our base to embark below Pré Saint Didier covering a further 3 km of a single rapid on a 3rd degree difficulty.
The total duration of the activity is 2 ½ hours.

Ideal trip for those who have never rafted, team building and families. The minimum age to participate is 10 years. No special skills are required, only good aquatics. You can participate with a weight under 125 kg.
