Activity description

Come and try rafting in white water with the pros of AN Rafting who will help you discover the magnificent Dranse river!

The Dranse is one of the nearest whitewater rivers from Geneva and Lausanne.

It's ideal to learn the basics of paddling with your team in white water which is the basic technique of rafting. It's the main activity of river descent and, with the help of your instructor on board, you will sail the rapids safely and fearlessly!

Rafting is a group activity and it's so much better this way! Evryone is on the same boat, litterally, so you help each other to paddle, avoid obstacles and gain speed together. Sensations and laughter are guaranteed!

You will use the shuttles from the center to reach the pontoon. From there, you'll go down the rapids which are accessible for all levels and your itinerary brings you back to the center. The water is quite cool (between 7 and 8 degrees throughout the summer season), but no worries! You wear a wetsuit and the ambiant air is warm so your swim will be a relief!
