Airboat Trip - The Thrill of an Inflatable Kayak

Looking for a solo challenge? Come try this adventure with Altitude Rafting!
The airboat—an inflatable kayak—glides smoothly along the river, offering you thrills and fun for an active outing in the heart of Haute-Savoie’s lush natural surroundings!

Just passing through our beautiful region? A regular visitor to Sixt or Samoëns for vacation? A lifelong resident?
Haute-Savoie as you’ve never seen it before: right in the riverbed! An activity that brings you as close as possible to nature!

And what a river… the Giffre! It originates in the heart of the Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval Nature Reserve… at the end of the world… A wild river that can only be fully explored by boat.
So, now’s your chance!

The airboat (an inflatable kayak) is our smallest vessel. It’s the one that’ll give you the most thrills! Closer to the water, closer to nature and its power… Come test your own limits!

At the start of the activity, you’ll receive a thorough briefing from your guide: how to read the river, safety instructions, and navigation techniques—everything you need to set off with confidence. Your guide will also be by your side throughout the descent to show you the best routes to take and ensure your safety.

Depending on river conditions, you’ll have the chance to enjoy a unique experience: navigating through the Gorges de Tines! Look up and admire the 30-meter cliffs surrounding you! Surprises await you all along the descent, from Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval to Samoëns: 7 km of pure delight for your senses—maybe a few sore muscles, but memories guaranteed!

In the early season, when the entire route isn’t fully navigable by airboat, we offer a “multi-sport” itinerary. You’ll traverse the gorges by raft—the guide will steer the raft—and continue the rest of the journey by airboat.

Come discover our passion and share this moment with us!

Adult: 45 € (Activity open to participants ages 14 and up).
