About This Tour
Rafting, and more generally whitewater navigation, are among the unmissable activities of a successful stay in the Pyrenees. If we add a night of bivouac and a local cheese raclette by the fire, dream and reality merge, to the greatest pleasure of all! Located in the heart of the Argelès-Gazost Valley, the Gave de Pau is an ideal river to familiarize yourself with whitewater bivouacs. We will start in the heart of the mountains and gradually descend to the plain, for a total of 40km. Going on a bivouac means going on an adventure. If the level of comfort of a night in the great outdoors can be unpredictable, the kindness and experience of our team will ensure you have an exceptional moment, which will remain engraved in your memory for a long time.
