High in the Alps, where sky meets summit, the Mont Blanc Country Rafting Grand Prix turns the rushing waters of the Arve into an epic playground. On June 27, 2025, competitors and spectators alike will dive into an exceptional experience—where the wild pulse of rafting meets the grandeur of the mountains,
in a moment as fierce as it is refined.
A Rush of Adrenaline in Alpine Silence
There are moments when nature seems to hold its breath, when the crisp Alpine air fuses with the frenzy of a wild sport. The Rafting Grand Prix in Megève is exactly that. On June 27, 2025, the Arve’s untamed waters will become the stage for a one-of-a-kind competition, where adventure and alpine majesty intertwine.
Picture this: Mont Blanc rising in the distance, brushing the clouds, and below your feet, the Arve, surging and serpentine, begging to be tamed. In this setting—where luxury dances with authenticity—teams will launch, united by a quest for pure excitement. The roar of the river meets the breath of the competitors, mingling with the scent of raw, untouched nature. It’s an experience of rare intensity.
The Rafters’ Ballet Beneath Alpine Skies
This isn’t just a competition—it’s a choreography of strength and fluidity, where every stroke of the paddle becomes a graceful duet between human and nature. The challenge? Mastering the Arve’s spirited rapids, all while being carried by the breathtaking beauty of the Alps. And though the sport is a battle of every second, the real reward lies in the spectacle—shared by rafters and onlookers alike.
The teams—bursts of courage and passion—will face off in a series of trials where harmony, speed and strategy collide.
You’ll watch the rafters dance on water from the riverbanks, feel the tension before the start, and the electric release as they surge into action.
A Program for Both Soul and Body
From 8:00 a.m., the energy is already buzzing. The scent of fresh coffee mingles with mountain air—the perfect duo to start the day. After a morning briefing, competitors head to the launch, hearts pulsing in rhythm with the river’s flow. At 9:30, the prologue kicks things off, before giving way to a Mass Start: a jolt of pure adrenaline, a shared thrill at full speed.
But as with any exceptional moment, it’s more than just a race. At day’s end, after the splashes and sprints, a convivial buffet and prize ceremony await. A chance to gather, share, and relive the day’s intensity in a warm, intimate setting.
Why You’ll Be Swept Away
The Mont Blanc Country Rafting Grand Prix is far more than a sporting event. It’s an invitation to veer off the beaten path, to experience the Alps from a wilder, more soulful angle. Away from the crowds, far from standard competitions, it immerses you in a universe where water, mountain, and spirit merge in a singular, poetic dance.
It’s a chance to see Megève through a new lens—elegant yet exhilarating, serene yet charged with emotion. Whether you’re on the raft or on the shore, the experience leaves its mark. It wraps you in unforgettable sensations, revealing the Mont Blanc in its most untamed, liberating form.
l’expérience vous marquera, vous habillera de sensations inoubliables, et vous fera découvrir le Mont-Blanc sous sa facette la plus sauvage, la plus libre.
The Grand Prix is for those who crave the unknown, who long to taste both the luxury of nature and the raw thrill of sport. Every moment matters. Every ripple echoes the quiet power of the peaks.
