Rafting and Hydrospeed on the Durance River

The upper reaches of the Durance River, fed by Montgenèvre's melting snow, provide excellent conditions for white-water sports during the summer months. Several outdoor activity centers in nearby Briançon offer guided rafting and hydrospeed excursions suitable for various skill levels. Rafting offers a team-based adventure in inflatable boats, while hydrospeed involves navigating the rapids on a foam board. These activities provide an adrenaline rush amidst stunning Alpine scenery. Bookings usually start from June and run through September. Prices range from 40-80 EUR per person depending on the activity and duration.
