Hydrospeeding Annecy: two rivers, pure thrills
Hydrospeeding with Takamaka is one of the most intense white-water experiences in the Alps. Two rivers, two atmospheres: the Dranse in Haute-Savoie and the upper Isère between Bourg-Saint-Maurice and Centron, one of France's most spectacular water courses. In both cases, you move in total immersion in the current, right in the heart of the rapids and the river's movements. An activity accessible from age 14, with no prior experience needed, led by qualified instructors with 30 years of experience in the region.
