Wear a swimsuit under a wetsuit (provided by operators for sporty-level sessions), secure your footwear with straps, and bring a dry bag for your phone. Sessions up to 3 hours at a sporty level mean sustained cold-water exposure, so a neoprene layer matters more than you'd expect in an alpine river environment.
Getting there
Most meeting points are clustered around Macot-La-Plagne and Centron (Aime-la-Plagne), both reachable via the D86 road through the Tarentaise valley, roughly 10 minutes from Bourg-Saint-Maurice by car.
