    Rafting in the Verdon Gorges

    Rafting is available in Castellane.

    Rafting on the Verdon is the most accessible of the white-water sports. You use a very stable boat that can accommodate eight people and a guide. The Verdon is perfect for this sport. The river has calm sections where you can contemplate the wild landscapes of the gorges and more turbulent sections for white water thrills. There are courses for all levels, from the one-and-a-half-hour discovery ride to the full day course, something for everyone! Family course for ages 6 and up.

    Hydrospeed

    Equipped with a padded wet-suit and a floating board, you use your flippers and follow the trajectory indicated by your guide. The start of the descent is easy and allows you to get used to your equipment before tackling the rapids and the famous « Solitaire ». This activity is for persons aged 14 and over.

    Canyoning in the Verdon

    Many canyons have been carved into the Verdon mountains. Put on your wetsuit, harness and helmet and go explore the wild geography. You may walk, rappel or slide down, depending on the route. You may also confront jumps and zip lines. As always, the guide adapts the activity to your level.

    Descend the Verdon Gorges in an Air Boat

    You will descend the Verdon in a single or double inflatable kayak with a double paddle. Make the most of the Verdon, speed through the rapids, slalom between the rocks, play with the currents or even try to surf the waves. This activity is available for children ages 12 and up. In less than two hours, you will cover 7 km through small and large rapids.

    Water hiking in the Verdon

    Explore the Verdon as you float with the current, walk or swim with appropriate equipment. Between the immense limestone cliffs, the Verdon enters remarkable places that are only accessible by the river. You can contemplate the exceptional setting of the Verdon Grand Canyon as you float along the water. You can choose to jump in the water (optional). Family course for ages 6 and up.
