The raft slips off the bank and the Isère takes over — cool, fast water that dares you to keep up. For an hour you move through tight gorges, rocky ledges and open pools where the current roars then smooths. Guides coach paddling rhythm, and the river rewards confident moves with sprays and momentum.
