Chloro’fil Parc: adventure territory in Argelès-Gazost
Rafting & Canoeing
on the Gave de Pau
Dive into white-water adventure
in Argelès-Gazost
Experience something truly unique on the Gave de Pau! Rafting and canoe-kayak with Chloro’fil combine adrenaline, fun, and total immersion in nature, for both children and adults.
In the heart of the Pyrenees, in southwestern France, the scenery is simply exceptional.
You will glide over the crystal-clear waters of the river, from the entrance of the Luz Gorges, where torrents and canyons turn into waterways, all the way to Argelès-Gazost.
Classified as a level 2 river, the Gave de Pau is accessible to everyone, from beginners to experienced paddlers. Departure and arrival points may vary slightly depending on conditions, to ensure your safety and the best possible route.
Our goal is to let you experience the same pleasure we feel paddling for years, surrounded by majestic mountains between the Viscos and Gabizos ranges.
Take on waves, rapids, and white-water sections… and let yourself be carried by adventure with every paddle stroke!
