The Hautes Alpes is a paddlers paradise

It has great weather, spectacular mountain scenery and classic white water.
There are a huge variety of runs and play areas catering for all paddling abilities. Choose from a gentle cruise on the lower Durance to navigating the boulders and eddies on the middle Guil, Gyronde or Guisane.

The Hautes Alpes has it all, no wonder it is Europe’s N°1 canoeing destination.
