Family Adventure (Alps)
This course is available in the French Alps and Provence but we can arrange family options in the UK upon request. For further information on UK courses please refer to the UK courses page on the main menu.
For many years families have shared great adventures with us rafting, canoeing and kayaking on some of the most exciting white water rivers in Europe. The professional coaches/guides who work on our advanced river courses are the same highly skilled experts that will look after you and your family. You can rest assured that you will be in very safe and capable hands.
We supply all the river equipment and have a range of white water craft that will fast track you all into the adventurous world of white water boating. We also have a range of accommodation options available, from self-catering studio apartments to our full board camping option.
Our family-size frame tents are pitched on our private site in the beautiful secluded valley of the river Gyronde. All tents are fitted with electric lights and have camp beds. Our apartments are situated in a small quiet alpine village only a short distance away. Please see separate description.
Within the local area there are also many other places of interest and activities suitable for all ages from toddlers to teenagers.
