Full of thrills and spills, rafting is the perfect white water team activity. Inflatable boats is powered by a crew of 4-8 persons and manoeuvred by the guide who ensures your safety. Whatever your white water experience you’ll enjoy this refreshing activity. The emerald waters of the Verdon have cut through Provence, north of the French Riviera, to create Europe’s greatest canyon. From its riverhead at the Col d’Allos (2247 m) to where it joins the Durance River, the Verdon river flows some 175 km. Known as the Gorges du Verdon, the 22 km of navigable river from Castellane to ‘Point Sublime’, the entrance of the Grand Canyon, is one of the most popular rafting courses in the South of France. A dam controls the flow and levels vary so that time rather than distance is specified for your trip. White water activities are possible certain days of the week from spring to autumn.
Many different types off rafting is available all the way from family rafting suitable for children down to 6 years, to more challenging journeys for more experienced rafters. Below you will find information about various companies providing rafting services. Most of them also offers a range of other water activities on the Verdon river – check out their websites for more details.
