Follow the Arve River

A wild river in the heart of the city, waiting to be explored by rafting

By focusing only on Lake Geneva and the Rhône River, people often forget about the Arve. Offering a surprisingly untamed experience in the heart of an urban setting, this river just downstream of Geneva’s Old Town offers cooler and more turbid waters for river rafting from May to September/October. The 8-km journey (for ages 6+) alternates between serene floats amongst wooded banks to small rapids and micro waterfalls that add a pinch of adrenaline. Start by the Sierne Bridge in Veyrier, just downstream of the French border, to enjoy an approx. 1 hr 15 min journey before the river merges with the Rhône.
