The packrafting and hiking tour
Welcome and explanation of the day
We meet in the morning around the village of Castellane. Explanation of the adventure with the guide before starting the hike.
Departure around 9.30am
We start the adventure on foot with our packrafts (ultralight inflatable kayak) on the back. We walk on a beautiful path that will take us through this small hamlet to reach the first viewpoints. Then we go back to the lake or we have to inflate our kayaks. We have boats for 1 or 2 people.
Kayak
We set out to explore part of the lake, sail through the small coves. Several jumps and climbing is offered to us for those who want it! The game on the water takes about 1h30
Back walk
After tidying up the packrafts, we walk back to the small village where we started the adventure. A short walk of 20 - 30 minutes to finish the day and enjoy the last panoramas of the lake. Watch out, it will climb!
