Activity description

Come and discover the magnificent Verdon canyon and get your thrills on a rafting trip from Castellane!

Rafting in the Verdon gorges is a must if you want to spend some quality time with family and friends! In a sublime setting, discover places that are inaccessible on foot and explore the unspoilt wilderness of Europe's largest canyon!

In an inflatable boat, in a group of up to 8 people and under the supervision of your state-certified guide, you'll get a taste of the joys of white water as you descend the Verdon rapids from Castellane. Depending on your level and your desires, you can choose between two rafting routes on the Verdon.

- The Discovery Route: an 8km, 1.5-hour course of rapids interspersed with calmer areas, giving you the chance to try your hand at white-water swimming or to jump off the rocks if you wish.

- The Pont de Soleil route: a route that lets you discover the gradual evolution of the Verdon Grand Canyon. You embark in Castellane and then raft down 14 kilometres of the Verdon for around 2.5 hours. You can also admire the "Cadières de Brandis" before crossing the Talloire rapids and the "Barre Saint Jean" rapid.

So what are you waiting for? Discover the Verdon as you've never seen it before thanks to rafting from Castellane!
