What is rafting? Rafting is heading down a river in an inflatable boat with several people inside. Everyone has a paddle and all help steer the boat from the beginning to the end. It’s great fun, especially with your friends and family. It is an absolute must-do when visiting the fantastic French Alps too.

Embark on the Doron de Bozel river, an exciting, dynamic and well-known river within the rafting community. You’ll paddle through the wonderful whitewater rapids and marvel at the surrounding beauty of the mountains and forests. It’s like no other, get ready for an unforgettable experience!

Please note, for any water sport rafting excursions, you must know how to swim and are not afraid to get wet or jump in the water.

You can choose an option according to your level and desires. There are easy whitewater descents suitable for families, or for the more adventurous and sporty type you can choose a more advanced adrenaline-pumping experience.

The Doron river source starts at the Masse glacier in the famous Vanoise national park, a park that has been protected since 1963. The river ends its journey when it joins the Isère river in Moûtiers.

Please note, departure times are adapted to the water level.
