What we’ll be doing?
We’ll be based in quality rented accomadation near the historic town of Briancon, the perfect base to explore the many beautiful rivers of the French Alps. We will be learning how to run class 3-4 whitewater in style using cutting edge new school creek boating technique.
Experienced boaters will have the chance to refine and push their skills, while less experienced paddlers will be equipped with all the skills necessary to enjoy the awesome rivers of the Alps. We will be using small ratios of 3:1 clients to guides so that every client gets personal and unique attention
Evenings will be spent enjoying the unique beauty of the area, and exploring the many multisport opportunities available. So if you have a good roll and want to learn more in one of the world’s best adventure playgrounds come to the Alps with us this summer.
