Intro
Enjoy an action-packed outdoor adventure in the city. This special three-hour rafting trip covers eight kilometres and includes six waterfalls, offering a chance to discover Geneva's surroundings in a completely different way.
The River Arve rises at Mont Blanc, crosses the Savoy Alps and flows into the Rhone after more than 100km at “La Jonction”, a district on the edge of Geneva's city centre. The adventure begins by the Pont de Sierne bridge in Le Veyrier. As you pass through a succession of calm and rapid waters between the tree-lined banks, you'll barely notice the bustle of the city.
The Arve is quite easy to navigate, so the trip is also suitable for beginners. This “whitewater adventure” in the city ends at the Quai des Vernets or shortly before the confluence of the Arve and Rhone.
