Discover the Verdon Gorges by packraft along the Blanc Martel trail with Secret River instructors!

Carved out by the Verdon river over thousands of years, the Verdon gorges are a majestic natural site and a biodiversity hotspot offering breathtaking scenery. Reaching a depth of 700 metres, the Gorges du Verdon are the largest canyon in Europe. From the Sentier Blanc-Martel, take a packraft down the rapids in the Verdon gorges and admire the impressive limestone cliffs and turquoise waters all around you!

After a briefing from your state-certified canoeing instructor on equipment and safety rules, discover a green and refreshing setting and get your fill of thrills! A very light inflatable kayak, the packraft can be easily transported, making it ideal for exploring and discovering the Verdon gorges that await you. With family or friends, enjoy a half-day or a full day of a packraft descent in the Verdon gorges!

Don't wait any longer and come and enjoy a unique experience as you explore the Verdon gorges in a packraft!

Le déroulement de l’activité était un peu scolaire… Il faudrait mettre les gens de mêmes niveaux dans de mêmes groupes pour pouvoir profiter pleinement de la descente.
