Water Sports in the hautes alpes
Water the lifeblood of the Hautes-Alpes.
The Buech, Durance and other rivers are just waiting to be explored during
your stay. Some are more suited to quiet contemplation, while others can be
tackled by the more adventurous white water enthusiasts.
In the buech valley the river passes through woods and pine forests. It then
becomes the meouge and tumbles in waterfalls. Natural waterslides abound, as
do large rocks, some of which make good diving boards and others ideal picnic
sites. After the waterfall, hollows in the same rock make natural swimming
pools; a truly spectacular sight.
Canoeing and canyoning are available when the rivers are not to low (as
occasionally happens in the Summer months).
At Embrun there is a kite surf and wind surfing lake, which is recommended by local riders as one of the best in the Alps.
