Adventure Day - Summer Day Programme

The morning

WATER DISCHARGE DAYS : Rafting

Meet at 9:30 AM at our «Adventure Forest» base (See access map)

Welcome of participants by the Rafting guides, followed by the distribution of equipment and a briefing for a descent down the Verdon by raft, to our Pinède beach (approx. 8 km and 1h30 of navigation).

The first part is easy; it allows for a gentle introduction to handling the raft. Then we navigate rapids of increasing difficulty with, as the finale, the famous Barre St. Jean (Class III rapid: medium difficulty).See the classification of rapidsThe culmination of this descent.

Once this rapid has been navigated, we will rejoin the Pinède beach, the finishing point of this descent.

After getting de-kitted, we will return to our base «Adventure Forest» by bus.

Days without releasing water : Aqua-Rando

Meet at 9 AM at our «Adventure Forest» base near CastellaneSee access map) where your ABOARD Rafting guides will be waiting. From there, we will transport you by ABOARD Rafting minibus to Samson corridor (20 min. drive).

This aqua-rando outing will allow us to explore the Verdon, starting at the «Solitaire» and finishing after «the Labyrinths».

Equipped with a wetsuit, helmet, and life jacket, we let ourselves be carried by the current, floating and swimming. We return to the banks each time it is necessary to walk around an obstacle (obstructed rapids, siphons).

We jump, swim or walk in the clear water so as not to miss any of the magnificent scenery that unfolds before our eyes.

This is undoubtedly the most appropriate technique for discovering the hidden natural beauties at the bottom of the Verdon Gorge. We find the Belvédère du Couloir Samson after about 20 minutes of walking.

 The afternoon : Forest Adventure Course

Meet at 2:00 PM Adventure Forest adventure course.

Leap from tree to tree on a range of varied workshops, from 2 to 12 metres high. Test your balance on Nepalese bridges, jump with a vine, glide on zip lines, walk on suspended walkways, wriggle through suspended barrels, all in complete safety... All you need to do is put on a harness, follow the instructions, and all the fun is yours!

In total, 50 varied and progressive workshops await you amidst the trees, culminating in two zip lines (80m and 130m above the Verdon).

This real forest adventure takes place on an exceptional 3-hectare site of pines and deciduous trees, bordered by cliffs overlooking the Verdon.
