Mini-Raft Outing - Defy the Giffre and its rapids in semi-autonomous conditions!

Elevation : 800m
Altitude Rafting, Mairie - Chef lieu, ( derrière la mairie), 74740 Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval
Are you a small group of sports enthusiasts looking for a challenge?
Come and try your hand at steering a whitewater boat with mini-raft! Coordination, communication and effort are all part of the package!
Plunge into the heart of Haute-Savoie, from Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval to Samoëns, to discover the picturesque Gorges des Tines... Perhaps you've already done some rafting and are looking for more?
Come and try out rafting's little brother: mini-raft!

These 3- or 4-person boats allow you to navigate semi-autonomously (the guide will be with you, but in his own boat).
A sporting challenge based on coordination between participants! One of you will take the helm and steer the boat, while the others will paddle the engine!

7km of descent where you'll discover a light group boat. You'll have to rely on each other and stick to the same tempo to take on the Giffre and its rapids!
You won't be able to rely on other participants. You'll need each other to stay on course. The scenery? Yes, very beautiful! Only here, you'll have your eyes plunged into the movements of the water to find the right current... Another way to discover this beautiful part of our region.

The guide's briefing will give you a few keys to river reading and navigation techniques before you "take to the water".

Don't hesitate, pick up the phone to reserve your boat!

Equipment required: swimsuit, pair of sports shoes (sneakers)

Tip: remove jewelry (including wedding rings)

In pre-season, when the entire route cannot be covered by mini-raft, we offer a "multi-sport" route. The gorges will be crossed by raft, and the guide will direct the boat and the rest of the course by mini-raft.

Equipment required: swimsuit, a pair of sports shoes that will get wet (such as sneakers or hiking boots).
Tip: remove jewelry (including wedding rings).

Open from 1st May to 30th September, 7 days a week, reservations are compulsory.
  • Sliding scale pricing if several activities are booked.
