Overview

Rafting is an activity accessible to all thanks to the variety of routes offered by the Ubaye: from the more sporty for adrenaline fans, to the quieter for families who can taste the joys of a rafting descent between rapids and laughter.

Only obligation to know how to swim.

In groups of 6 to 8 people per raft, the rafting instructor guides who steer the boat will make you carry out some basic manipulations before setting off on the water: left, right, stop, forward or backward will be quickly mastered.

The adventure can then begin: you will have great sensations with maximum security, as well as all the joys of white water including splashes, spray, more or less forced swimming are part.

Rafting is the ideal activity for discovering white water to share without moderation with family, couple or friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Rafting on the Ubaye – Barcelonette?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
