Hydrospeed in Annecy
Alone against the current, fins on your feet and a foam float in your hands: hydrospeed is white-water at its most intense, right at water level.
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.

White-water swimming, guaranteed thrills
Equipped with a foam float, fins and a reinforced wetsuit, you take on the eddies and waves with the power of your legs — like a kayaker, but without the kayak! An unmatched sense of speed and glide, right at the surface.
Led by a qualified instructor, you learn to read the river, run the rapids and play with the current. A sporty, exhilarating descent on the Dranse, for thrill-seekers.
