Go mini-rafting down the beautiful Giffre river in the Alps near Samoëns with a professional guide!

Would you like to discover the mountains near Samoëns in a different way than with your hiking boots? Come and experience white water rafting and discover a Haute-Savoie treasure hidden away in the heart of the Giffre valley: the Gorges des Tines! If you're a group of 3 or 4 dynamic sportsmen and women and you want to test your ability to steer a raft-type inflatable boat on a mountain river in complete safety, this semi-autonomous activity is for you!

The mini-raft is smaller than the classic raft. This type of boat can accommodate up to 4 people. It's half the size of a raft, but it's still relatively heavy, so it's very stable. You'll need to pay close attention to the river's movements and coordinate with the other crew members to steer it on the River Giffre!

Previous rafting or white-water experience will come in handy. But don't panic, a guide will be there to accompany you throughout this discovery of mini-rafting near Samoëns. He'll be with you on the river, but in his own boat: the challenge for you will be teamwork!

  1. Don't hesitate, the Altitude Rafting team is ready to welcome you and help you discover mini-raft on the Giffre river near Samoëns!
