About this tour

This 2.5-hour outing near La Plagne includes 90 minutes on the water navigating Class I–II rapids, plus full kit and shuttle transport. Afterward, dry off in the facilities and grab food at the riverside restaurant.

What to expect

You and a partner will don your wetsuit and safety kit, then launch into the Isère. The guide briefs you on paddle strokes and line choice before you push off. The first 90 minutes involve steady paddling through gentle to moderate whitewater—splashes guaranteed but no portages. Your guide rafts alongside, offering tips or a hand if needed. After landing, head to the changing rooms to rinse off, then unwind on the terrace with a meal overlooking the river.
