Whitewater Rafting, Isere

A great way to break the ice with other Alpine Elements guests!

One of the must-do activities in France is the famous Whitewater rafting excursion of the Isere valley. It really doesn't get better than this, and we have a Discovery ride for families and the Great Descent (with our Adventure Pack upgrade) for adults and teens’ who like a faster ride! Whichever descent you choose, nothing will bond you more with your fellow hotel guests like heading down a river at high speed on an inflatable raft, right?

Top Tip: The fantastic ‘Discovery Descent’ is included free with our Active Pack. You can upgrade to our Adventure Pack for the ‘Great Descent’ which goes up a level!

Discovery Descent (Grade 2-3)

  • 3Hrs (1hr15 descent time)
  • Allow half day +
  • Ages 8+
  • €85 with transport, or
  • Free with our Active Pack

Included within our Free Active Pack. This is a great Whitewater rafting programme on grade 2 to 3 rapids, on some of France’s finest rapids. You will start with practical swim techniques in the river rapids (which means getting in for a plunge!) before paddle techniques, how to sit in the raft and safety. It’s a fun and educational adventure that will need teamwork and forge friendships with other Alpine Elements guests. The Discover descent rapids are the best balance between exciting and rewarding, without being too demanding. Ages 8+. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

The Great Descent (Grade 2-4)

  • 3Hrs (1hr30 descent time)
  • Allow half day +
  • Ages 12-13+
  • €95 with transport, or

Included as standard with our Adventure Pack upgrade, this is a full descent of the Isere rapids, taking in more challenging sections including grade 4 rapids. This is a fun activity, led by a very experienced guide and lasts for just over 1Hr 30mins - which is plenty long enough! It has a river swimming section in the rapids - which are super fun and calm sections to get the breath back! Open to kids age 12-13+ accompanied by an adult. This descent of the Isere rapids is very famous and a must-do activity in France!
