Water

The abundance of water in the mountains around Morzine ensures that anyone looking for adventure of the wet variety will not be disappointed! The river Dranse flows through central Morzine and leads all the way down the valley eventually emptying into Lac Leman (or Lake Geneva as the British prefer to call it). This spectacular river provides a whole host of water-based activities:

WHITE WATER RAFTING

Climb aboard a 7 man raft and battle your way down over 6km of rapids. The river is classified as category 3/4 ensuring you'll be exhilarated all the way down. You will be accompanied by a guide who ensures the safe keeping of all on the boat, although don't be surprised if you find yourself in the water! As such, you must be able to swim at least 25m to be able to take part in the activity.

HYDROSPEEDING

Put on a wetsuit, flippers, and crash helmet, grab a polystyrene float, and then throw yourself down the same course as the white water rafting! Not for the faint-hearted, but a truly awesome activity!

CANYONING

An activity where you abseil, swing, and jump your way down a smaller branch of the river, which finished off by descending the magnificant Nyon waterfall.

All these activites are manned by expert guides and include all safety equipment.
