The French Alps, with their breathtaking scenery and multitude of outdoor activities, are the perfect playground for a day’s adventure. Nestled in the heart of this majestic region, Arc Aventures by Evolution 2 offers a range of activities designed to delight thrill-seekers. Follow me as we tell the story of an extraordinary day, when the whole family plunged into the rapids on a rafting trip, challenged the heights on the accrobranche and flew over the peaks on a paraglider.
9:00 – Morning: Rafting on the Isère
The day starts early at the white-water base in Bourg Saint Maurice, a legendary spot for rafting enthusiasts. After a warm welcome from the Arc Aventures by Evolution 2 team, we receive a full briefing on safety instructions and rafting techniques. Equipped with wetsuits, helmets and lifejackets, we’re ready to take on the rapids of the Isère.
Excitement builds as we take to the water. The first waves are startling, but thanks to our guide’s expertise, we manage to navigate with confidence. The river is a thrill to behold, with tumultuous passages and calmer moments when we can admire the Alpine scenery. Laughter and cries of joy echoed as we neared the end of the trip. Rafting on the Isère is an unforgettable experience, combining adrenalin and wonder.
14:00 – Afternoon: Accrobranche at Arc 1800
After a busy morning and a good picnic, we head to Arc 1800 for a session of accrobranche. The adventure course is set in a beautiful forest, offering a soothing atmosphere and a welcome coolness. After an introduction by the instructors, we don harnesses and set off on the various courses.
The courses are varied and suitable for all levels, from beginners to experts. We move from tree to tree, crossing suspension bridges, nets and zip lines. Each passage requires concentration and agility, but the satisfaction of overcoming each obstacle is immense. Children and adults alike will enjoy this fun and physical challenge. The high point is a zip line offering a breathtaking view of the valley.
17:30 – End of day: Paragliding in Bourg Saint Maurice
To round off this day of adventure in style, we head for the paragliding take-off area. Paragliding is the icing on the cake, offering a unique aerial perspective of the Alps. After a briefing on safety instructions and equipment, we prepare to take off in tandem with experienced pilots.
The take-off is smooth and in just a few moments we find ourselves flying over the mountains. The sensation of flying is indescribable, combining serenity and exhilaration. The panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, verdant valleys and sparkling rivers are breathtaking. The paragliding flight lasts around thirty minutes, but these moments seem suspended in time, engraved forever in our memories.
