The guides will be there to welcome you. They will hand out the equipment and give a safety talk. You will then be ready to embark on a discovery rafting trip (10 km and 2h00 of navigation).
We will navigate in the gorges of Fontgaillarde where the river flows in a narrow canyon. The upper Verdon contains constant rapids (medium difficulty), with waves bouncing off the cliffs in the numerous curves.
The landscape is very wild in this high valley, the river is channelled for most of the descent into the Gorges de Fontgaillarde. Beautiful waterfalls cascade directly into the Verdon.
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.
