Accessible to all, rafting is the perfect way to discover whitewater boating. Your crew of 4 to 8 people will have the sole aim of sharing an experience rich in emotions.
Rafting on the Verdon River (Gorges and Haut-Verdon) in the Var region is also a great way to enjoy a memorable group experience. Whether you’re coming with family, friends, or as part of a company outing, rafting strengthens bonds and creates lasting memories.
Get ready to paddle, have fun, and create unforgettable memories as you navigate the whitewater of the Verdon.
Rafting on the Verdon River is only available on certain days of the week, depending on EDF’s water releases, so we recommend that you book as early as possible.
On the Verdon River, downstream from the dam, rafting is only possible on days when water releases. On the Var River and in the Upper Verdon, the activity depends on the river’s water level.

Neoprene wetsuit, thermal socks, lifejacket, paddle and helmet.
Equipped with wetsuits, life jackets, and paddles, and under the expert guidance of experienced guides, you’ll navigate through whitewater, tackling rapids of varying difficulty levels. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned paddler, the rafting routes are designed to accommodate all levels of experience.
Active travelers will take advantage of fall or the spring snowmelt to enjoy a variety of thrilling experiences. The Haut-Verdon, with its wilder, more mountainous landscape, offers a different side of the Verdon.

Whitewater Essentials
Have you remembered everything you need to be ready for the big day?
It’s the perfect opportunity to float down the Verdon rivers. In May, June, September and October, it’s rather quiet, so you can enjoy the panorama in complete tranquillity.
Off-season on the Verdon, from Castellane, water releases are irregular but numerous and the flow is high.
In the Haut-Verdon, the Daluis gorges and downstream, we take advantage of rainfall and snowmelt. Don’t hesitate to ask the activity providers.
If the Verdon rhymes with escape, it’s one of France’s sunniest destinations. So it’s off-season that we have the most fun.
