Hydrospeed
Hydrospeed experience with a guide in Chamonix
Experience the most aquatic all out activities with Evolution 2. Are you looking for the ride of your life? Because these beautiful alpine rivers will turn into exhilarating playgrounds for fun!
Have you been rafting and are looking for the next challenge? Are you ready for an amazing white water experience? Take on the swirling rapids, the beautiful scenery and churning waves of the alpine river with expert supervision and full safety equipment!
Hydrospeeding is body rafting down the rapids. Wearing a full wetsuit, with flippers to propel you along and a foam river sledge that serves as both a rudder and a shield, the idea is to descend the river head first, using the currents.
There are two hydrospeed trips available of varying duration and difficulty:
Passy Discovery - 2hrs on the river & 3hrs total time including briefing & transfer
Suitable for families with kids from 11 years old. 8km of navigation with 6 rapids with views of the Mont-Blanc, it's ideal for a first approach of the white-water rafting.
Chamonix Action - 1hr155min on the river & 2hr30 total time including briefing & transfer
The 6km course in Chamonix is the sportiest on offer - also on the Arve River (same as the Passy), but starting from Chamonix, it's narrower & faster with more rapids! Children have to be 14 years old to take part.
The above activities are restricted to summer months only (usually May to mid-September, weather dependent).
