Description
Discover the Fontgaillarde gorges by inflatable kayak
UNFOLDING
of this activity
Meet at 10h at the Adrech campsite, 6 km from St-André-les-Alpes and 30 mins from Castellane (See access map)
The guides will be there to welcome you. They will hand out the equipment and give a safety talk to get you ready for an air-boat descent of the Upper-Verdon, from the Clos Bridge to the Allons Bridge (about 10 km and 2h on the water).
The guides will give you an introduction on how to manoeuver your inflatable one-man boat and will accompany you all through the descent to show you the way.
Then, you will penetrate inside the Fontgaillarde Gorge. The landscape is quite wild in this high valley, and the river is deep cut for most of the descent in the gorge.
We will stop in a corner where the more adventurous ones can have a go at jumping from an overhang in the water. Then, the gorge opens up again towards the end of the trip and we will reach the final bridge, where you will find your vehicles.
The upper Verdon contains constant rapids (medium difficulty), with waves bouncing off the cliffs in the numerous curves.
