Stand Up Paddle in the Alps

It's not the activity you first think of when coming to the Alps, but Stand Up Paddle is a hugely popular sport in the Southern French Alps, thanks in particular to the wonderful waters of the Serre-Ponçon lake, which are both perfect Stand Up Paddle spots amidst breath-taking mountain environment!

Stand Up Paddle, or "SUP" at it is commonly known, is a great way to explore the hidden beaches for picnics and sunbathing (many of which are only accessible from the water!), and an ideal combination with other fun water sports or lakeside activities.

This summer, we're proud to introduce SUP's big brother, the Giant Stand Up Paddle! This large board will allow up to 8 adults to stand together - the perfect fun board for big families or groups of friends!

The water is very clear and calm around the banks of the two lakes. Falling or diving in is refreshing, but you are warmed up quickly thanks to the strong sun. You must put on plenty of sunscreen or wear a t-shirt and a hat.

You can choose to simply rent the equipment without any instruction or join a group lesson.

If you prefer, you can also join our friendly staff on the Serre-Ponçon lake for an unforgettable 2 to 3 hour SUP Sunset Expedition adventure, which you can finish off with a friendly BBQ dinner with the rest of the group. A memorable adventure on one of the most stunning lakes in Europe!
