Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment on this rafting trip?
The Var river channels through a steep-sided gorge, so the rapids hit you fast and without much warning. The guide brief before launch is your only preparation before the current takes over.
Do you need rafting experience to join?
No prior experience required. The physical level is listed as "Occasionally sporty", meaning you'll work your paddle but won't need technical skills. The operator handles safety.
How cold is the water?
The Var is fed by mountain snowmelt, so expect cold water even in summer. Wetsuits are typically provided by the operator, but confirm with Les Flots de Julie when booking.
When is the best time to go?
The season runs from May to September. Late spring and early summer offer higher, faster water levels from snowmelt. August is the warmest but the busiest.
