Rafting activity presentation

The activity takes place for half a day, in a group of 8 people maximum on the same boat, plus your guide. We will navigate between the village of Castellane and as far as the Pont de Soleil, further down the river.

The course Rafting Verdon – “Pont de soleil” is a longer route than discovery, while remaining accessible to a public who discovers the activity. It starts at the start of the route “Discovery” and ends in the middle of the course “Sublime point” .

Come with family or friends to try your hand at the joys of white water with this 12 km course or 3h30 of activity for about 2 hours on the water. For rafting navigation on the Verdon we are dependent on the opening of the EDF dam upstream of Castellane.

During the summer period (July and August) the dam is open every Tuesday and Friday only.

For the months of May, June and September , the information is communicated to us 24 hours in advance. Anyway, don’t worry, if it is closed on the reserved day, we suggest you postpone the activity or go aqua hike to come and discover the Verdon, its Grandes Gorges and its Grand Canyon by swimming, from the bed of the river.
