Course of events
of the activity
Meet at 10 AM at the Adrech campsite, 6 km from St-André-les-Alpes and 30 minutes from Castellane (See access plan)
Participants are welcomed by the ABOARD Rafting guides, followed by the distribution of equipment and a briefing for an air-boat descent of the Haut-Verdon, from Pont Clos to Pont d’Allons (approximately 10 km and 2 hours of navigation).
The guides will first describe the basic technical handling of this single-seater craft and will accompany you in the kayak to point out the routes.
From the outset, we will navigate the Fontgaillarde Gorges. The landscape is very wild in this high valley, with the river channelled for most of the descent through the Fontgaillarde Gorges. Beautiful waterfalls cascade directly into the Verdon.
The river has a constant current, with rapids (class II, III)See the classification of rapidscontinuously. Bouncy turns on the cliffs follow one after another until the exit of the gorges.
The end of the trail is marked by the end of the gorges, where we find our vehicles again.
