The Gave de Pau offers ideal conditions for rafting in the heart of the Pyrenees.

Fed by snowmelt, the Gave reveals its full power in spring, when its flow is at its strongest.
Throughout the season, the river reveals a different side to itself. The routes allow you to discover unspoilt landscapes, with wooded banks, pebbles and panoramic views of the foothills of the Pyrenees. As you navigate the rapids, the adrenaline quickly gives way to bursts of laughter, team spirit and the joy of sharing an adventure in the heart of nature.
Supervised by qualified instructors, the trips are suitable for all levels of experience. Whether it’s a first-time family outing, a day out with friends or a more challenging adventure: there’s a route to suit everyone’s preferences. The professionals accompany you throughout the activity to ensure you enjoy the experience to the full in complete safety.
In Lourdes, rafting is much more than just a sporting activity. It’s a unique way to explore the Gave de Pau, feel the power of the water and see the Pyrenean landscapes in a whole new light. An experience that blends energy, nature and camaraderie, all set to the rhythm of the river.
