Water Sports

River Activities	The River Dranse is famous for its water activities. White Water Rafting and Hydrospeeding (floating down the river headfirst with a float) can easily be arranged and are exhilerating experiences for those who have not tried them before. There is also canyoning: for those who wish to test their nerve, by jumping into rock pools and abseiling off bridges and waterfalls.
White Water Rafting	In an inflatable dingy with a team of between 4 and 8 people led by a qualified guide. Discovery trips for children or more adventurous descents available. Open to anyone who can swim.
Kayak Raft	Two-seater boat, technically sophisticated and easy to navigate on the river Dranse. A remarkable compromise in that it's both easy to handle and stable.
Swimming in white water (hydrospeeding)	Fly down the rapids, swimming, slaloming and surfing as you go. Discover the sensation of being swept down the river on a foam float. Available for anyone from the age of 14 who can swim.
