Rafting on the Drôme
In general, the Drôme is more of a canoe river but in spring, when the snow melts, or after heavy rains, the Drôme also allows the practice of rafting and miniraft, so these are other sensations ...
The Drôme, the ideal river for canoeing:
Without particular difficulty (class II without dam or portage and with a regular current which limits the effort), the Drôme will suit beginners as well as the most experienced. The pleasures of the river are yours: swimming, picnicking, fishing, relaxing ...
In spring by raft or mini-raft,
When the snow leaves the summits and melts towards the valley, the Drôme takes on its spring outfit.
Its dynamic flow will then delight lovers of whitewater sensations. In addition, these more stable boats allow you to take advantage of more dynamic water while limiting the risk of capsizing. https://www.canoe-france.com/drome/
