Eau-vive, a source of pure sensations
Water is a precious commodity for many reasons, and Peisey-Vallandry is fortunate to have it everywhere in its territory, with the Isère in particular flowing at the bottom of the valley. Lovers of aquatic pleasures will find a perfect playground here. Canyoning, rafting, hydrospeed, cano-raft or just a spot of fishing, there's something for everyone. Enjoy the charms of water, its freshness and its beneficial energy.
CANYONING
This highly varied sporting activity takes place in a river bed and offers a clever mix of climbing and water activities. Jumps, slides, waterfalls... a fun and dynamic activity in the cool of the canyons.
A wonderful playground
There are several possibilities in the surrounding area, including the Pussy, Eau Rousse and Bénétant routes. If you're prepared to travel a little further afield, there are also other options, such as the Bridoire canyon near Lake Aiguebelette, or the Montmin and Angon canyons near Lake Annecy.
Canyoning service providers
Three organisations offer supervised canyoning at the above-mentioned sites. They will also provide you with the equipment you need for safe and enjoyable canyoning.

For €64, for example, they have set up a "half-day family discovery canyoning" or "half-day introductory canyoning for teenagers/adults" activity. There is also a special offer for EVGs and groups for €58.

Montagne Expériences by ESF
Who doesn't know the "reds" of the ESF during the winter season? With their instantly recognisable overalls, they can be identified from afar and have contributed to the development of the ski industry by giving ski lessons for decades. But the ESF doesn't stop at winter: their instructors, who are often local, also offer a wide range of outdoor activities in the mountains during the summer months. This is particularly true of canyoning!
For example, they offer a half-day trip to the Eau Rousse canyon, at a cost of €55.
They also organise trips to other canyons on request.

RAFTING
For thrill-seekers and river sports enthusiasts, rafting is one of the most popular activities available in Peisey-Vallandry. Aboard an inflatable boat, as a couple, with family or friends, you can hurtle down the rushing waters of the Isère, recognised as one of the most beautiful rivers in the Alps.
The Isère river
The Isère rises at the Grande Aiguille Rousse glacier - on the border between the Tarentaise and Maurienne regions - before flowing downstream towards Grenoble and emptying into the Rhône 286 kilometres further on, at Pont-de-l'Isère (Drôme).
Along the way, it links Bourg-Saint-Maurice with Centron. This particular route has become a famous rafting spot, making it one of the longest descents in France and a great classic in the Alps. The full descent offers 22 kilometres of rapids in superb scenery, divided into three sections:
