Details of the activity

Join us for a unique experience combining hiking and river sports. Packrafting is a lightweight, inflatable watercraft that you can carry in your backpack and use to explore rivers and streams with complete freedom.

Over two days, you’ll experience the magic of the river up close: from learning about the history and use of packrafting, to your first strokes on calm water and the excitement of navigating rapids. This educational and adventurous experience is also suitable for beginners, and is designed for anyone who loves nature, water, and the thrill of discovery.

With qualified instructors and all the necessary equipment provided, an intense weekend of sport, fun, and connection with the natural environment awaits you.

A medical sports certificate is required (basic certification is also accepted) to obtain a UISP membership card valid for the entire 2026/27 season.
