Useful information
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.
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.

More information for Hero Les Arcs
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.
