Version PDFThe Ubaye river, a famous rafting spot in France
The Ubaye river is located in the Ubaye valley, in the Alpes de Haute Provence (04), only 2h30 drive from Marseille via Aix –en-Provence, as well as the city of Grenoble, between the Alpes Maritimes and the Hautes Alpes.
The Ubaye is renown as one of Europe’s most beautiful river, a small treasure in the South Alps.
Its 50 km rapids offer a wide range of courses, unequalled in the Alps.
The Ubaye runs from the Italian boarder down to the lake de Serre Ponçon. This river has no dam, and reaches its higher water level in Spring, when the winter snows melt (until 150 m3)
The difficulties on the Ubaye are ranked from from class I to class VI, from the highest volume in Spring to the technical waters in Summer and Autumn.
The Ubaye offers 10 courses, as for example that of the Bachelard, and you will be able to find a stay best suited to your needs in this wide range of courses.
From a nice family run to the most thrilling adventure, from baby raft to the most impressing course, the Ubaye river will leave you with a magical taste and the feeling that you want to go back to it.
