Combine hiking near Chambéry and packrafting at Lac du Bourget on a sporting excursion with Secret River instructors!

Located in the heart of the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park and bordered by the towns of Aix-les-Bains and Le Bourget-du-Lac, Lac du Bourget offers breathtaking scenery! Almost 18 kilometres long, Lac du Bourget is the largest natural lake in France. With water temperatures regularly between 20 and 25°C in summer, packrafting on Lac du Bourget is a great experience! Come and discover the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park off the beaten track in an activity that respects the area's heritage and biodiversity!

Departing from Le Bourget-du-Lac, not far from Chambéry, hike along the shores of Lac du Bourget to reach Hautecombe Abbey, a 12th-century abbey with spectacular views over the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park. Once on the shores, take a packraft out on Lac du Bourget and admire the turquoise waters! A hybrid between a sea kayak and a raft, the packraft is a very light inflatable kayak!

Accompanied by a qualified canoe-kayak instructor, admire the huge expanses of water of Lac du Bourget and the impressive cliffs of the Bauges massif! Whether you're with your family or a group of friends, enjoy a half-day or a full day of original, eco-friendly packraft sailing near Chambéry!

Nous ne connaissions pas le PackCraft mais c’est une découverte qui nous a beaucoup plu. Le mélange randonnée et pack Craft a été intéressante pour nous.

Faire 2 activités différentes sur la même journée a permis de découvrir le lac de haut en foret avec des points de vue et ensuite au fil de l'eau tranquillement
