For the more adventurous, there’s rafting in the Guil gorges. Just 30 minutes from Vars, discover one of the region’s most beautiful natural gems. Nestling on either side of magnificent cliffs, the Guil river can be explored in several sections, depending on the season and water levels. Reserved for the most intrepid and sporty, its many rapids will require you to be responsive, well toned and have a good paddle! In short, a good dose of adrenalin awaits you in an extraordinary setting.
Why not try out the ‘queen’ of river craft: kayaking! Start by familiarising yourself with the boat in the basin. Then learn to “read” the river, discover basic manoeuvres, kayak balance and safety principles. All these learning sessions will give you the unique sensation of gliding. Courses are also available if you want to go further. You’ll be the captain of your own boat as it sails along in a setting worthy of the most beautiful kayaking videos. Another alternative to try out is accompanied double kayaking!

A wide, braided river of turquoise colours, with a rainy-nival regime and fed by glaciers, the Durance is an ideal playground for discovering whitewater sports. Its course through the heart of the valleys from Guillestrois to Embrunais ensures an outing that’s suitable for everyone (families, beginners, friends…) but also offers a picture-postcard view of the surrounding mountains. A special feature is the famous Rabioux wave at Chateauroux les Alpes, which promises some great thrills.
A river with a European reputation, renowned for its many passages (Millenium, triple chute, la grille…), the Guil is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful white-water rivers in the département. The Guil is a narrow, challenging river, renowned for its beauty in the heart of the gorges of the same name. With its succession of rapids, it offers a challenging and sporting descent.
On the other side of the Col de Vars, you can discover the Ubaye valley and its river of the same name. Preserved, mythical and wilder than ever, it offers a range of different routes to suit everyone.
A great white-water classic, it combines the beauty of a natural site with the variety of its rapids to give you all the thrills.
Continue your refreshing interlude with an outing around our high-altitude lakes!
