Accompanied not only by a qualified instructor for safe rafting, but also by a local storyteller, you will have the pleasure of combining your rafting experience in the Queyras Regional Nature Park with a few cultural breaks where you can listen to stories and legends from the Hautes-Alpes and taste some local produce!

For almost 4 hours at the end of the day, you will raft down the Guil River, then the Durance River, with 2 pleasant breaks along the way.
