Evolution Method – 2 White-Water Sessions in Serre Chevalier

The Evolution Method

The Evolution Method is a unique formula designed to help you learn, progress and enjoy the white waters of the Guisane in two stages during the week.

Instead of doing everything in a single day, the Evolution Method offers two separate half-day sessions at different time slots:

• Session 1 – Grand Discovery Route: a first immersion on the Guisane in Serre Chevalier. You get comfortable with your equipment, learn the right techniques and discover the river at your own pace in a fun and supportive atmosphere.
• Session 2 – Grand Classic Route: building on your first experience, you return to the river for a longer and more technical session. You reconnect with the sensations and make the most of them with greater confidence.

For each session, you can freely choose your equipment according to your preferences:

• Hydrospeed: direct contact with the rapids, equipped with a float and fins.
• Air-Boat: in a two-seater catamaran, paddling as a duo through the rapids.
• Cano-Raft: in a large collective canoe, working as a team with your guide on board.

You can choose the same equipment for both sessions to deepen your practice, or try two different options to experience white water from different perspectives.

Each session is supervised by a state-certified professional guide who adapts their advice to your level.

This option is particularly popular with:

• Families with children aged 10 and over
• People who want to progress gently
• Holidaymakers who want to make the most of their stay
• Groups of friends ready to share two great river experiences

Departure from the RAFTING EXPERIENCE® base located at Lac du Pontillas in Villeneuve – La Salle-les-Alpes.
