White-water rafting in Annecy
Raft down the Isère and the Dranse rivers: big thrills as a team, led by our state-qualified guides, open to the whole family.
From Annecy, head to the two closest rafting spots: the Isère at Aime-La-Plagne and the Dranse at Thonon-les-Bains. Allow about 1h15 to 1h30 of driving to reach white-water descents among the finest in the Alps. There is no rafting course in Annecy itself.

Take on the rapids as a team
Hop into an inflatable raft with 6 to 8 paddlers and tackle the rapids of the finest rivers in the French Alps. On the Haute Isère at Aime-La-Plagne or the Dranse above Thonon, every trip is led by a qualified instructor paddling alongside you.
No experience needed: we kit you out (wetsuit, neoprene shoes, life jacket, helmet), brief you on the moves, and off you go for an adventure full of thrills, laughter and stunning alpine scenery.
