Rafting in Ardèche: an adrenalin activity in complete safety

 

Rafting in the Ardèche is an activity to be enjoyed water levels permitting, in spring or autumn. Indeed, our beautiful Ardèche river is a little unpredicable and subject to the vagaries of rising waters… Whenever possible, rafting is an activity for all members of your family from 5 years old, or for groups in complete safety with a state-certified guide.

Rafting is done in a group in an inflatable, unsinkable boat. A state-certified guide is present at the rear of the boat to accompany you and ensure your safety.
Everyone on board is equipped with a single paddle to help the raft move forward, the aim being to float down the Ardèche together, following your guide’s instructions.

Fun and friendly, rafting on the Ardèche is accessible to all. Reservations required, depending on water level.
