River Rafting on the Var

Experience the thrill of white-water rafting in spectacular mountain scenery with an adrenaline-pumping adventure through the Maritime Alps. The Var is one of the most stunning white-water rivers in France, at its fastest in spring when meltwater from the Mercantour mountains feeds the flow. Your trip begins at Puget-Théniers, where you’ll be given a safety briefing from your experienced guide and all the equipment you need before boarding your inflatable raft. Then it's a fun-filled two-hour adventure down river – passing through rocky rapids, rushing waterfalls and tranquil pools – before arriving at the picturesque medieval village of Touët-sur-Var, perched above the river.
