Top 1 family summer mountain vacation: an invigorating rafting descent
Direction the valley and the Isère for an outing full of freshness. Rafting is an activity easily accessible to children and very fun for teenagers who will not fail to splash and challenge themselves in the rapids.
The Isère in summer has a good steady flow and the course is suitable for families with children. After a quiet start to familiarize yourself with the codes of navigation and maneuvers, rafting slowly increases in power. The instructor will give you the basics of handling the oars as well as a code for raising them and putting you at the bottom of the boat if you crash into a rock! You will even learn how to rescue yourself if you fall in the water with very practical and fun exercises by firmly grabbing your partner's life jacket.
Sometimes, the instructor stops the boat to surprise you... He makes you climb the bank and offers you (without obligation of course) to jump into a water hole below... 5 meters away! Guaranteed sensations! You then have to climb aboard the raft, which can be a small ordeal in itself if it is not fortunately facilitated by the guide who lifts you.
You will no doubt have the opportunity to take passages of rapids, including the very prestigious rapids of Aime, for a very fun and refreshing moment in the middle of unspoiled nature.
The descent continues through the magnificent gorges of Centron whose narrowest and steepest passage impresses.
Top 2 family summer mountain holidays: an outing in trapper mode
An unusual outing in trapper mode may remind some of Scouting expeditions. You go for a walk in the forest, and at the bend of an idyllic clearing, with a small stream and a wooden cabin in the middle, you are transported to another universe.
Your mountain guide will introduce you to the preparation of the fire in the middle of the forest. Go in search of very dry lichens and small woods, position the wood meticulously to build the brazier, light it with the fire stone and have a contest for the most beautiful fire.
As a reward, roasted marshmallows make these summer mountain vacation in family unforgettable.
