Water Sports and Mountain Adventure Sports

Your choice of activities, you don't have a hope of staying dry!

Custom holidays with your choice of activities in and out of the water. Rafting on the Gave de Pau river, hair boat and hot dog (individual inflatable canoes).

World class kayaking in mountain torrents. Experience canyoning - with exhilarating slides, jumps and abseils in mountain gorges. Relax in the afternoon with a visit to the thermal spa for some pampering.

Your holiday, your choice.

The most exciting time of year for watersports is in late Spring/early Summer, when the snow melt from the high mountains makes the rivers roar. This does mean that the water is cold though, so Autumn is probably the best time of year, when the mountain streams are at their warmest.

The rushing waters and lush vegetation of the French side of the border give our local canyons a humid, "rainforest" atmosphere. There are water chutes and pools to jump in, and you will get very wet abseiling down waterfalls! The sunny canyons of the Spanish Pyrenees are often drier and scattered with warm blue pools.
