Useful information

What is rafting?

In rafting you go down the river on a large inflatable boat. There are 4 to 9 spaces for participants and a guide sits at the back to steer and instruct everyone. Participants sit on either side and paddle as the guide tells them to.

Can anyone do rafting?

Everyone needs their own insurance.
Everyone needs to be able to swim at least 25 metres and submerge themselves fully (swimming test during the activity)
The minimum ages are strictly adhered to and participants need to have passed the relevant birthday on or before the date of the activity:
Discovery Rafting: 8 years old with a responsible adult participating or 10 years old alone
Integrale Rafting: 12 years old with a responsible adult participating or 14 years old alone
– Ask when you book about signing the legal documents before the activity for all minors participating without a responsible adults.

Can I do rafting with my family?

We have two types of rafting to be able to accommodate adults and children during the activity.
The Discovery rafting is shorter and doesn’t include any rapids so it is perfect for children from 8 years old (they need to have had their 8th birthday before or on the day of the activity) and from 12 years old everyone can do the Integrale rafting which includes the rapids and gorges.
If you have mixed ages in your family, we can usually find a solution where you do the first part of the activity together and those who aren’t 12 yet get out just before the rapids and return to the whitewater base with the guides while the others finish the activity.

What equipment do I need for rafting?

You should bring: a swimming costume, a towel and a bag that closes and is big enough for all your clothes, shoes and towel.
We will give you: Full neoprene wetsuits, neoprene boots, helmets, life preservers and paddles.

I don’t have a car in summer

Each activity has a specific time-slot and meeting point, these are given upon booking.
– If you are staying in Les Arcs and would like to participate in rafting or hydro-speed swimming you have two options:
Everyday, you can use the free shuttle buses to get to Arc 1600 and from there use the Funicular train to go down to Bourg St Maurice whereupon we will pick you up in our private bus that will take you to the white-water base. At the end of the activity we will drop you back at the Funicular train station in Bourg St Maurice for the return journey.
On Tuesdays and certain Wednesday morning, take our free bus directly from the Villards village in Arc 1800 down to the white-water base. At the end of the activity we will drop you back to the Funicular train station in Bourg St Maurice where you can get the Funicular back up to Les Arcs and use the free shuttle buses to arrive at your chosen destination within the resort.
Don’t forget to tell us if you need any of these options when you book.
– Unfortunately it is not possible to participate in canyoning without a car as the meeting points are at least an hour’s drive from Les Arcs and they are quite out of the way so there are no public transport options.
