Discover canorafting in Saint-Lary-Soulan on the Neste d'Aure, an introductory river with some beautiful rapids in the heart of the Hautes-Pyrénées in the Occitanie region. With light, easy-to-handle boats nicknamed "Hot Dogs", this canorafting activity is ideal for experiencing the thrill of white water alone, in pairs or in a group of 3!
Saint-Lary-Soulan will be the starting point for this thrilling canorafting adventure on the Neste d'Aure. This river is a real treasure of the French Pyrenees, rising at the Pic de la Géla below the ridge of the Pic de Troumouse at Pic Longa. Passing through several villages in the Pyrenees National Park, including Saint Lary Soulan, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Your canorafting trip will take you through class 2/3 rapids, including the sensational "Cadéac ramp", nicknamed "the letterbox".
Your canorafting trip down the Neste d'Aure begins at the whitewater base, where you'll be met by our professional guide. After being fully kitted out and given a detailed briefing by the instructor, you'll be ready to embark on an 8-kilometre descent to the charming village of Arreau. The boat is light and manoeuvrable, allowing you to enjoy the rapids to the full while exploring the beautiful surroundings of the Neste d'Aure. Your experienced instructor will supervise the group on his own boat, guaranteeing a safe experience.
