How to choose

Both tours tackle the Gave de Pau river, but they target different schedules and groups. Chloro'fil runs a focused 2.5h session at 38 € , ideal if your day is packed and you want the rapids without a half-day commitment. Aventure Chlorophylle offers a longer 3.5h to 5.5h experience at 39 €, rated 'Everybody welcome,' making it the go-to for mixed groups or first-timers who want more time on the water. The 1 € price gap is irrelevant , the real choice is duration. Pick Chloro'fil for a sharp, 'Occasionally sporty' hit on the Gave de Pau. Pick Aventure Chlorophylle for a longer float accessible to all levels, meeting at Lestelle-Bétharram along the CD 937.

Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment on the Gave de Pau?
The biggest rapids hit mid-run, when the river narrows and the current accelerates through the gorges. That's when the raft lifts, drops and the team has to paddle hard to stay on course.
Do you need prior rafting experience?
No. The tour rated 'Everybody welcome' by Aventure Chlorophylle is designed for complete beginners. The Chloro'fil option is listed as 'Occasionally sporty,' meaning brief physical effort but no technical background required.
What's the rafting season in Lourdes?
Tours run from May through September. Spring (May and June) typically means higher water levels and faster currents due to snowmelt from the Pyrenees , the most intense conditions of the season.
How long are you actually on the water?
With Chloro'fil, the session lasts 2.5h total. With Aventure Chlorophylle, plan for 3.5h to 5.5h depending on the package, which includes more time navigating the Gave de Pau downstream.
