Why Choose the Hautes-Alpes for Your White Water Activities?

The Hautes-Alpes is much more than just a mountain destination! It's an exceptional playground for white water sports, thanks to the diversity and quality of its rivers.

  • The Durance: Beginner-Friendly and Fun. Perfect for families and beginners, the Durance offers enjoyable descents with accessible rapids and calmer areas to admire the scenery. It's the ideal place for a first-time experience, guaranteeing laughter and shared memories.
  • The Guil: Intense and Authentic. For the more adventurous (aged 14 and over), the Guil offers technical courses and impressive rapids in the heart of the Queyras Regional Natural Park. A sporty and memorable experience in a wild setting!

Each river has its own personality and promises a unique adventure.
