Rafting is a popular summer activity, and now you can raft in winter also! This however, is rafting with a twist. Substituting a river for a banked snow channel, this is the perfect activity for all you adrenaline sport enthusiasts.

The thrill of jumping into the rafting boat and heading down the snowy slopes, has put a big smile on all the hundreds of participants who have taken the trip on our Snowrafting course. After completing several trips in the raft, guests will be able to relax around the fire in the tee-pee with a hot drink. All participants can borrow a helmet from us, or you can bring your own. Remember to wear clothes according to the weather conditions (i.e. clothes you would wear for skiing or snowboarding). Hat and gloves are a "must". Ski boots are not allowed to be worn, rather, we recommend wearing winter boots or snowboarding boots.
