River rafting at the foot of Mont Blanc

Compagnies des guides

Navigate the Arve, fed by the glacier waters of the Mont Blanc Massif and one of France’s most turbulent rivers, or Italy’s Dora Baltéa, one of the most prestigious rivers in the Alps and a stone’s throw from Chamonix.

Our rafts are self-bailing and extremely stable which enables us to tackle rapids in complete safety.

Rafting is open to anyone over 1.30m high who can swim.
