Atlas Overland organise a summer tour in the Alps in 4 wheel drive vehicles visiting the Val D'Isere show.  The drivers stop off at the franceraft base for a rafting trip down the Isere and some go paragliding and riding in the national park before setting off again.

Les alpes en 4X4

First descent in the Angon waterfalls near Annecy in the haute savoie, fantastic conditions for the beginning of the canyoning season.

The group of english mountain bikers had a great time for their first experience of canyoning.

The  Tarentaise  canyons in the savoie (Pussy and Bénétant) still have too much water, probably mid july will be the earliest.

See our page canyoning in Savoie

High water this week in the canyons in the Savoie and haute Savoie, a great occasion to try the lesser known cayons such as the Mine on Annecy's doorstep. A magnificent succession of abseils, lots of water and guaranteed excitement.

the heavy rain at the beginning of this summer season in the alps has brought excellent rafting conditions.  All the alpine rivers including the Isere and Doron have seen high water levels much to the joy of rafting enthusiasts.
