TOUR DESCRIPTION
We offer you a UNIQUE experience in the middle of nature: 2 days of expedition on the Isere river in the Tarentaise valley near Annecy, with rafting, yoga and fly fishing on the programme!
With an overnight on the river bank : live the “Consciousness” experience, the RAFTING expedition on the Isere river !
The Isere river is one of the mythical rivers of France for the continuity of its rapids and its location in the heart of Savoie surrounded by its mountains and glaciers.
This is where we will meet. Our meeting point will be in Centron, at our beautiful rafting base camp. We meet the evening before to collect the waterproof bags and to anticipate the loading. This is also an opportunity to meet and share a first friendly moment before the beginning of our adventure.
The next day, after a good night’s sleep, we meet at the rafting base to wake up with a vinyasa yoga session. After a tea break, we discover fly fishing together. An initiation on the water will allow us to experience river fishing later on.
After lunch, we inflate the rafts, we get equipped and after about fifteen minutes in the bus that takes us to the starting point, the discovery of the river begins and with it, the immersion in nature. Our afternoon is spent paddling, swimming and fishing until we arrive at our bivouac.
Our first task once there was to set up camp. The rest of the day is spent fishing and doing yoga, then when night comes we meet up for a good meal that the guides have concocted with local products. We adapt to all for the food 😉 . Then we enjoy a moment around the softness of a flame to exchange, sing, meditate or play music. This is the moment when everyone brings back what is important to them.
A bivouac is an opportunity to put in place the “leave no trace” philosophy so as not to leave any impact of our passage in Nature.
When you wake up, you can choose between a morning fishing session or a new yoga, meditation or journaling session. The guides will have taken care of preparing breakfast and we will set off to navigate the famous section of the Centron rapids until we arrive at the rafting base camp. Our day will end at 4pm.
This trip is accessible to most people, however it is recommended to be in good physical condition to be able to do activities for several hours in a row and to sleep in a bivouac (bivouac = temporary camp in the open air).We remain at your disposal for any information concerning the preparation, the necessary equipment and other details concerning this stay.
