A fun, active, and unique way to see the Alps!

My friend and I had an amazing time rafting with Taz. He was professional, kind, and made sure we felt safe the entire time. I would recommend this activity to anyone interested in seeing the Haute-Alpes scenery from a unique perspective - navigating through the Durance river!

Thank you to you and Scott for your message and your coming to the Durance with EVP - Eau Vive Passion. I hope that the end of your studies will go well and that you will have a good match in Milan before returning to the US. THANKS
