Rafting down the Giffre

Come and meet our river, the Giffre, the lifeblood of the mountains! In Sixt, get on board with our guides! Come and experience Haute-Savoie nature in all its grandeur...

From a leisurely stroll to a thrill-seeking ride, this outing is for you. This boat, accessible to all, allows you to adapt the descent to your desires. Our experienced and attentive guides will adapt to your needs! Climb aboard our boats, alone, with family or friends. Our aim: to give you an unforgettable experience! Come and discover an exceptional corner of the Haute-Savoie region: the Giffre and the Tines gorges. Our family-sized team will share their passion for whitewater rafting with you. The activity will begin with safety instructions and a first approach to the rules of navigation to enable you to make a comfortable descent. Your crew can be a maximum of 8 people, accompanied by the guide at the back of your boat, who will give you simple, precise instructions throughout the descent. For larger crews, we'll go out in a multi-boat flotilla! Let's paddle together, in the same direction, through the rapids between Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval and Samoëns, via the Gorges de Tines (conditions permitting)! For the more adventurous, let's make a stop: jumps, swims and challenges, always under the professional eye of our guides. This is sure to be a memorable outing on the Yaute! For the more adventurous, in early season it's possible to follow the gorges twice, or take a descent between Sixt and Verchaix (11 km). For those who'd like to discover another river, we can also take you to the Dranse in spring. Minimum age: 6 years Equipment supplied: wetsuit, neoprene jacket and socks, lifejacket, helmet and paddle! Please bring a pair of sneakers (which will get wet) and your swimsuit. Tip: remove all jewelry (including waterproof watches and wedding rings).
