Introduction
The many alpine rivers and lakes in the Alps provide
an endless playground for all those who love water,
with hard paddling, rough water, big waves, swirling
eddies, dodging rocks and rapid descents. Fresh
crystal clear water, with no sand between your toes
or in your sandwiches.
For information on the activities, contacts and guide
information please see the contact information on the
resort pages, or the Tourist Offices who have
literature and more details of all activities in
their area.
|
Canyoning
Accompanied by a guide, follow courses through
canyons and descend through stunning gorges along the
rivers course. Equipped with a wetsuit, helmet &
climbing harness, swim, wade, slide, jump or even
abseil from one pool to another.

|

|
Hydrospeed
A hydrospeed float (a high buoyancy half-length
surf-board) is used to ride the waves down the course
of a river. Equipped with wet-suit, helmet and
flippers to steer go head first, almost like
body-boarding down a river, one minute in the wave,
and the next on top.
|
|

|
Airboat
An inflatable dingy-boat for 1 person, to paddle
through the white water torrents.
|
|

|
Canoe/Kayak
Following experienced guides ride the course of the
river in either a Kayak, paddling with a double-ended
paddle or a Canoe, which is steered using a single
ended paddle. White-water Kayaks have a closed top
and you sit down in the boat, they are short,
manoeuvrable and not very stable, whereas canoes have
a closed top, are generally better for slower water
and are more stable.
|
|

|
Rafting
Large inflatable self-bailing boat, for groups of
4-10 people with a guide to ride the waves together.
