With Hydrospeed Air-Boat or Cano-Raft, discover whitewater sports in the Serre Chevalier – Briançon Valley with a session that is perfect for a first-time river experience.
This activity takes place in a group led by a professional live guide, where participants can try different disciplines on the same outing.
At the time of booking, you choose your boat:
• Air-Boat: a stable and easy-to-steer single-seater inflatable boat
