On this page you will find a lot of information to prepare your canoe ride with Ariège Evasion.
From 7 years old: provided that it can swim at least 25 meters and that it is comfortable with being immersed.
The flow of our river is supported by several upstream dams. These large altitude lakes provide a sufficient level of water all year round for the practice of canoe. This will not prevent you from crossing a rock because Ariège remains a mountain torrent.
We offer 6 routes for all levels, if it is your first time in canoe we recommend the discovery or bright water routes. The "discovery" is specially planned for an initiation on the lake at the start of the ride you can learn the handling of the paddle and discover the 3km of the quietest torrent of our river.
The 9km "bright waters" resumes the first three kilometers of the discovery to which you will add 6 km to which the river moves a little more. It is quite possible to choose at the end of the discovery if you want to continue or if you want to stop after 3 kilometers.
No worries we accept doggies free of charge. Make sure your dog is comfortable in the water and take a cloth (towel or other) to stabilize it on the canoe. We offer rental vests for your dog.
