The packraft, a lightweight inflatable boat (~3 kg), combines hiking and river rafting. At Zen River Camp, carry it in a bag, inflate it at the start and set off to explore the rapids of the Giffre, without shuttles, on courses adapted to your level.
Packrafting is an adventure activity combining hiking, kayaking and river exploration. Here's how it works: you hike or bike the trail, with your packraft and gear in the bag, to the launch point. There, you set up your boat (rapid inflation in 5-10 min), then descend the secret, sporty sections of the Giffre River in Haute-Savoie, supervised by professional guides. No shuttles, no convoys: just the essentials, the river and the pleasure of a self-guided trip.
Suitable for motivated beginners aged 14 and over, but also for seasoned sportsmen and women seeking new adventure. The combination of hiking and buoyancy opens up unique itineraries in unspoilt landscapes.
Must be able to swim.
Zen River Camp offers whitewater activities in the heart of the Vallée du Giffre: discovery or sport rafting, with all equipment. Suitable for families and groups, from spring to autumn.
Two kayak packages are available on the Giffre: a 2-hour beginner's course and a half-day guided trip.
