Giffre River Rafting and Canyoning Tours

Several local adventure companies based in Samoëns offer thrilling white-water activities on the Giffre River. Rafting tours cater to various skill levels, from family-friendly floats to more adventurous runs, typically lasting 1.5 to 3 hours with prices ranging from 40-70 EUR per person. Canyoning involves navigating through gorges, rappelling down waterfalls, sliding, and jumping into natural pools; these tours are generally longer (half-day to full-day) and more expensive (70-120 EUR per person), requiring good physical condition. All equipment (wetsuits, helmets, life vests) and professional guides are provided. Booking in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak summer months. These activities run during the warmer months when river levels are suitable.
