Alpine Activity Holidays Les Gets and Morzine
Our favourite partner for White Water Rafting, Via Ferrata, etc is Frogs Rafting, run by Nat and Jeremy, they cater from 6 year olds up to those wanting the most adventurous activies. They offer:
- White-water rafting,
- canorafting

- hill walking
White Water Rafting
Most of the activities are on the Rivers Giffre (Samoens) and Dranses (Thonon), as well as gorge-walking (a hike with a twist: you follow a gorge down a valley jumping and sliding through any obstacles you come across) in the Borne Gorge. Trips are tailored to be as chilled out or adrenaline packed as you'd like, just discuss what you're after with your guide who'll be with you throughout the trip and knows the area like the back of his hand.
Frogs Rafting provide you with all the gear you need to ensure you're snug throughout, all you need to do is get yourself to the meeting point with your swimming togs and towel!
Hiking
The French Alps are host to an easily accessible and well maintained network of paths you can follow up towards the snow-line and experience the enormity of the alpine panorama as it unfolds around you. Hiking with a mountain guide ensures you don't overlook any Ibex or Chamois so well camoflaged against their mountain habitat, or the Eidlweiss and Genepei sheltering in meadows ; he 'll have you listening out for and spotting the Marmottes as they wake up from their winter-time napping in time to play ! Look out for the tracks of various alpine animals and learn about their behaviour from someone who understands the landscape and nature of the animals you want to find ! He can show you how to fend for yourself on the mountains and make a delicious meal from forraged ingredients : not only will the scenery blow you away, learning about the natural environment and it's possibilities will inspire you !
