Summer Outdoor Activities in Evian and Thonon: Big Thrills Between 

Between Lake Geneva, the Chablais rivers and the peaks of the Portes du Soleil, the Évian-les-Bains and Thonon-les-Bains area is a dream playground for outdoor lovers 🏔️.

Rafting, hydrospeed and canoe raft on the Dranse, canyoning in Morzine, via ferrata in Saint-Jean-d'Aulps, tandem paragliding above Morzine-Les Gets, mountain biking on the Gavot Plateau: every outing shows you the great outdoors from a new angle, with cool water and wide-open views.

For 30 years, Takamaka has been introducing people to outdoor sports, whether they're complete beginners or regular athletes. Our mountain guides, rafting guides and paragliding instructors are all state-certified and share the same spirit: kindness, availability and good humour. They know the terrain inside out and turn every outing into a memory.

💦 Our white-water activities

On the Dranse near Thonon-les-Bains, rafting is a team adventure from age 8, while hydrospeed and canoe raft, for the more athletic from age 14, put you right up close to the rapids 🌊. Hydrospeed means riding a float with fins on your feet, and canoe raft means piloting your own little two-person raft. In Morzine, the Nyon canyon alternates jumps, natural slides and abseils, from age 12. The technical gear is provided: all you need is to be able to swim and to bring swimwear.

⛰️ Our mountain activities

In the mountains, tandem paragliding takes off above Morzine-Les Gets from age 5, with Mont Blanc as your backdrop 🪂. The Saint-Jean-d'Aulps via ferrata, from age 10, blends hiking and climbing into a half-day outing, with no previous experience needed. And for riding in the middle of nature, our guided mountain bike rides, on a classic bike or an e-MTB, take you across the Gavot Plateau, the Balcons du Léman, the Portes du Soleil or the Abondance Valley 🚵.
