Water Sports in Rhône-Alpes
From the raging mountain streams of the Alpes to the serenity of the Ain or the Drôme to the impressive gorges of the Ardèche, there are a vast number of options for playing on the water.
Mountain streams rise from glaciers, tearing down the mountains, wearing rocks away and carrying daring types on their craft for rating, canyoning, hydrospeed and other breath-taking pursuits. The streams are fed by the snow melt waters, delighting lovers of picture book landscapes and fans of skiing or walking beneath the snow-covered pine trees in the world's largest skiable area.
