Description
The most beautiful rafting route in the Verdon Gorge.
Course of events
of the activity
Meet at 14:00 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, then transferred to the starting point.
Collection of equipment and briefing for a raft descent of the Haut-Verdon, from the Roman bridge to the Allons bridge (approx. 14 km and 2h30 navigation).
The guides will provide you with the fundamental basic techniques to get you started with handling this craft.
Then we will navigate the Fontgaillarde gorges. The landscape is very wild in this high valley; the river is hemmed in for most of the descent through the gorges.
The river has a constant current, with rapids (class II, III)See the classification of rapids) continuously, but without any major rapids. A series of twists and turns along the cliffs follow one after the other until we reach the end of the gorges. Along the way, we’ll have the chance to admire a few waterfalls cascading into the river.
The end of the trail is marked by the end of the gorges, where we find our vehicles again.
