Morning light slices the valley and the Isère already moves with purpose — cold, clear, and insistent. On this 2h30 commercial descent through the Tarentaise, the river takes the lead: eddies pull, waves rise, and the current dares you to trust the raft and the guide. You start at a well‑placed base on the river’s edge where neoprene suits, helmets and life jackets are fitted, and instructions are given before a short transfer to the put‑in.
