Rafting is a hugely challenging activity using an inflatable raft to navigate a river.  It is done on white water, or water of varying degrees of roughness, for no other reason than to excite and challenge the raft’s occupants!
Generally the only criteria you need to fulfil is the ability to swim, then it’s a matter of getting in and holding on tight.

A good selection of water sports are available in nearly all our resorts but for the biggest thrills and spills the Arve at Chamonix is a perfect choice and there is an abundance of other activities when you finally decide you just can’t take another drenching!
The Dranse (near to Morzine, above Thonon) is widely regarded as a great spot for kayaking.
