A Typical Cano-Raft Session: What to Expect

When you book a private cano-raft session in the Serre Chevalier valley, here’s what a typical experience looks like from start to finish:

Welcome and Briefing (15-20 minutes)

Your adventure begins at our base in the Guisane Valley, where your instructor warmly welcomes you and your partner. After completing a brief registration, you’ll receive an introduction to the day’s itinerary. Your instructor will assess your experience level through a quick conversation and adapt the planned route accordingly.

Equipment Fitting (15 minutes)

Next, you’ll be outfitted with all necessary gear. This typically includes:

  • Neoprene wetsuits (thickness depends on water temperature)
  • Specialized water shoes
  • Helmets for safety
  • Personal flotation devices (life jackets)
  • Splash jackets if needed
  • Paddles specifically designed for cano-rafting

Your instructor ensures everything fits properly while explaining the purpose of each piece of equipment.

Technical Briefing (10-15 minutes)

Before hitting the water, your instructor provides essential instruction on:

  • Basic paddling techniques
  • Communication signals used on the river
  • Safety procedures
  • How to position yourselves in the cano-raft
  • What to do if you capsize

Transportation to River Entry Point (5-15 minutes)

The team transports you, your partner, and the equipment to the selected put-in spot along the river. This location is carefully chosen based on current water conditions and your experience level.

On-Water Instruction (15-20 minutes)

Once at the riverside, your instructor helps you launch the cano-raft and begins with practice in calm water, allowing you to:

  • Get comfortable with the craft’s handling
  • Practice basic strokes
  • Learn to coordinate movements with your partner
  • Gain confidence before tackling more challenging sections

The River Journey (60-90 minutes for 2-hour session)

The main adventure begins as you navigate downstream, with your instructor either in their own craft nearby or occasionally joining you to provide guidance. The journey typically includes:

  • Alternating sections of calm water and exciting rapids
  • Brief stops at scenic spots for rest and photography
  • Progressive challenges as you gain confidence
  • Opportunities to swim in safe sections if desired
  • Personalized coaching throughout the experience

Return and Wrap-Up (15-20 minutes)

After reaching the take-out point, you’ll:

  • Help load equipment back onto the transport
  • Return to the base
  • Change into dry clothes in our facilities
  • Enjoy a debriefing session where your instructor shares photos (if taken) and discusses your experience

Throughout the entire session, the focus remains on your comfort, safety, and enjoyment. The instructor continuously adapts the experience to match your confidence and skill development, ensuring the perfect balance between excitement and comfort for your unique cano-raft adventure.
