Rivers & Disabilities - Rafting Handisport in Serre Chevalier: An Accessible and Adapted Adventure

#### Mountains and sport for all

When we talk about accessibility for disabled people, we often think of urban areas and rarely natural ones. Rafting-Expérience® is challenging this idea by launching a river sports package specially adapted for people with reduced mobility.

#### A concrete project in Serre Chevalier

Since its creation in 2016, Rafting-Expérience® has developed a range of adapted facilities to enable this audience to enjoy river sports in Serre Chevalier. Located on the banks of Lac du Pontillas in Villeneuve La Salle, the base has installed wheelchair ramps in trucks, customised neoprene wetsuits to make dressing easier, and developed special seats for rafting, tandem hydrospeed and two-seater kayaking.

#### An à la carte formula supervised by professionals

The private formula is flexible and adjustable, allowing organisational, technical and educational adaptation according to the disability situation. Accessible to adults and children aged 10 and over, each 2-hour private rafting, air-boat, cano-raft or hydrospeed session allows one person with reduced mobility and one able-bodied companion to be supervised by one or two professional instructors. The rafts can accommodate up to 6 disabled people and their companions at the same time.

#### An unforgettable experience supervised by professionals

During a private 2h30 session, enjoy a disabled rafting adventure in Serre Chevalier. Accompanied by a specialised instructor, a person with a disability can take part in a rafting experience adapted to their needs.

#### Adapted equipment for optimum accessibility

Our equipment guarantees optimum accessibility to white water sports in Serre Chevalier. Take advantage of our adapted on-board seat and our special "get dressed without getting nervous" suit. Also discover the Air-Boat option with a stable single-seater boat, as well as duo or solo hydrospeed descents on the magnificent Guisane river.

#### Personalising the programme for a unique experience

We adapt each programme according to the abilities and preferences of the participants. Qualified instructors adapt to your pace, guaranteeing a safe and enjoyable experience in the white waters of Serre Chevalier.

#### Transport included for a hands-on adventure

Enjoy transport included from our base to the starting point of the activity in Serre Chevalier. We make it easy for you to get around, so that you can enjoy your handisport adventure to the full.

#### Prices and booking

The price for this unique handisport experience is €145 for a disabled person accompanied by a carer, with an instructor. For groups of more than two people, a supplement of €45 per person applies (maximum 4 people). Book your handisport adventure in Serre Chevalier with Rivières & Handicaps now
