If you are only looking at one week you will need to be there the first week of the trip as we can’t accommodate new paddlers in week two.


Canoe control have or are moving there camp site site some 15k down the river

Here is a copy of Stuarts e-mail to let us no what they are going to do this year.

After some nine years Canoe Control are moving their Alps summer camp.

We are moving some 15 k (down river) from our old site to an even more fantastic site in the Valley of the river Biasse. It has all the great attributes of our old site and far more. Its a site purpose built for kayakers, Climbers, Mountain Bikers and Walkers. We have secured a very large area with options on more if we need it. If clients feel they need other accommodation there are Hotels and Gites in the Valley.
