Frequently asked questions

How intense is the Loue Gorges inflatable kayak trip?
The trip is rated Sporty, meaning you actively paddle through the gorge sections of the Loue river. Expect real current, some technical passages and a physical half-day on the water, not a lazy float.
Do I need prior kayaking experience?
No prior experience is required, but the Sporty rating means basic fitness helps. The operator provides equipment and guidance to get you safely down the Loue Gorges.
What is the most intense moment of the trip?
The narrowest gorge sections of the Loue concentrate the current and force you to read the water quickly. Those passages are typically the highlight participants mention most.
Is the 49 € price per person?
Yes, 49 € is the per-person rate for the half-day inflatable kayak descent of the Loue Gorges.
