History of rafting<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The origins of rafting<\/strong> very often dates back to 1950, on the river Colorado<\/strong>. However, it seems that in reality, in 1842 Lieutenant John Fremont led an expedition on a tributary of the Missouri. For this adventure, Fremont and his sidekick built the first rubber raft, laying the foundations for what was to become modern rafting...<\/p>\n

Rafting<\/strong> was often used as a military craft<\/strong> to transport men and equipment across rivers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 1940, the Salmon River became one of the first to offer guided rafting trips through American whitewater. The first enthusiasts used surplus military rafts to tackle the rough waters.<\/p>\n

During the 1972 Munich Olympic Games<\/strong>Kayaking put whitewater rafting on the map by becoming an official sport and being presented for the first time.<\/p>\n

Since then, the equipment used for rafting has continued to evolve, and this activity continues to fascinate the public. lovers of adventure and thrills<\/strong> around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Definition of rafting<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rafting is an English term which comes from\u00a0 to raft.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rafting is one of the most popular white-water activities in the mountains, alongside canyoning and hydrospeed.<\/p>\n

Rafting is a leisure activity<\/strong> which consists of go to<\/strong> parts of turbulent rivers<\/strong> in a inflatable boat<\/strong> It can be paddled by several people or rowed by a single person. The routes on offer are more or less challenging depending on the time of year, spring or summer, because of the melting snow.<\/p>\n

Less technical than kayaking, rafting more often attracts holidaymakers in the mountains<\/strong>including families with young children<\/strong>s, the groups of friends<\/strong> but also lovers of rapids and wild nature. <\/strong>Canoeing is practised in relatively calm water, on a river or wide stream for example. Rafting is sportier, with more thrills on the water, particularly when crossing natural obstacles and rapids in the river. However, you don't need to be an experienced canoeist to go rafting.<\/span><\/span>
<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two types of rafting boat:<\/p>\n

- the raft<\/strong> 8 to 10-seater boat, very stable and able to cross rapids inaccessible to other boats (often suitable for families or colleagues for a friendly get-together).<\/p>\n

- the mini-raft or hot dog<\/strong> from 3 to 5 places, which allows slightly more sporty descents but does not require any experience.<\/p>\n
