Snowshoeing is a great way to explore the unspoilt areas of La Plagne, away from the busy pistes. It’s also a fantastic option if you don’t fancy skiing or snowboarding but still want to get some exercise.

Guides will take you to remote locations where you can spot local wildlife up close and enjoy spectacular scenery, including panoramas of Mont Blanc and the Beaufortain.

The ski school offers both half-day and evening snowshoe treks, providing all the necessary equipment. They also offer a full day in the wilderness of the Beaufortain.

This activity is suitable for anyone aged 18 and over.

Venturing down a river on a raft does not require any particular technical skills, nor do you have to be extremely fit. However, you do have to be in good health, know how to swim, and not be afraid of going under water.

Rafting involves, above all, a team spirit - the fearless in front, the more relaxed in the middle and the more technically able at the back. Rafting allows each person to experience an adrenaline rush as they glide down the rapids, while at the same time discovering some amazing scenery.

There are introductory rafting sessions (on a grade three river) and more difficult sessions for those looking for a bit more of a challenge.

Their excursions take place on the Haute Isere river, which is easily accessible from Les Arcs, La Plagne, Tignes and Val d'Isere resorts, and the Doron de Bozel, which can be easily reached from the 3 Valleys resorts.

Half day excursions

• rafting course for children - from Bourg-Saint Maurice to Gothard - eight years and above.

The river is at the base of the 3 Valleys so is ideal for people on holiday in the the areas of Courchevel, Meribel, and Val Thorens.
• Bourg-Saint Maurice to Centron - a demanding expedition down the magnificent Haute Isere river covering 18 km in all for 2h15 non-stop paddling. First of all, you glide down the easier section of the course Bourg-Saint-Maurice/Bellentre, giving you a gentle introduction to the techniques and sensations of rafting. You then move on to a more demanding section of the Isere river with the famous rapids of Aime and then the magnificent canyon of Centron. The minimum age limit for this descent is 12 years old. The river is ideally located for those on holiday in the Haute Tarentaise resorts of La Plagne, Les Arcs, Tignes and Val d'Isere.

Full day excursions

• On the full day excursion, you will get to experience both rivers as described above with lunch on the riverbank.

The activity consists of swimming down the river with the aid of a foam float, using and playing with the currents. This activity is a little more demanding physically than the others so you do have to be in good health, know how to swim and not be afraid of going under water. This allows you to discover the unique sensation of surfing down white water rivers. What fun!
