Description

On rafts down the Rhone – big volume rafting in Switzerland! Two different sections to choose from.
Of all Swiss rafting rivers, the Rhone has got the largest water volume. Especially on hot days, the snowmelt results in rising water levels and huge fun waves.

There are two sections with different levels of difficulty to choose from.

On the upper section, the so-called ‘adventure course’ between Sousten and Sierre you will find demanding rafting with huge waves. One hour of an adventure you won’t forget in a hurry!

The lower section, between Sierre and Sion, offers up to 20 km of cruisy and easy white water. Make use of the bathing spots along the way and enjoy a picnic break. On this section you can choose between half-day and full-day programs. Part of this section can also be run with hydro speeds.
