Whitewater Rafting, Isere

A great way to break the ice with other Alpine Elements guests!

One of the must-do activities in France is the famous Whitewater rafting in the Isere valley which is why it’s free-and-inclusive with all our holidays to Hotel Tetras Lodge.  Choose from a Discovery ride or the Great Descent (Adventure Pack upgrades) for adults and teens’ who like a faster ride! Whichever descent you choose, nothing will bond you more with your fellow hotel guests like heading down a river at high speed on a rubber raft!

Top Tip: Upgrade your free rafting session to the Great Descent in our Adventure Pack

The Discovery Descent

  • Included in your Free Active Pack
  • Cost: €85 with transport
  • Allow half-day (1hr15 descent time)
  • Ages 8+ (6-8 per raft)
  • Grade 2 to 3 rapids
  • Tip: Bring swimmers to wear underneath

Included within our Free Active Pack, this epic rafting adventure takes place  on grade 2 and 3 rapids, which is in some of France’s finest whitewater. You will start with practical swim techniques in the river (which means getting in for a plunge!) before paddle techniques, how to sit in the raft and safety. It’s a fun and educational adventure that will need teamwork as you forge new friendships with other Alpine Elements guests. The Discovery Descent offers the best balance between exciting and rewarding, without being too demanding. Ages 8+. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

The Great Descent (Grade 2-4)

  • Included in our Adventure Pack upgrade
  • Cost: €95 with transport
  • Allow half-day (1hr30 descent time)
  • Ages 12+ (6-8 per raft)
  • Grade 2 to 4 rapids
  • Tip: Bring swimmers to wear underneath

Included as standard with our Adventure Pack upgrade, this is a full descent of the Isere rapids, taking in more challenging sections including grade 4 rapids. This is a fun activity, led by a very experienced guide and lasts for just over 1Hr 30mins - which is plenty long enough! It has a river swimming section in the rapids - which are super fun and calm sections to get the breath back… Open to kids age 12-13+ accompanied by an adult. Any descent of the Isere rapids is very famous, incredibly scenic and a must-do activity.
