20 minutes from Le Cosy Lodge, the Vénéon Eaux Vives centre awaits you at Plan du Lac, facing the Écrins glaciers, to ride the turquoise waters of the Vénéon by raft, hydrospeed, hot-dog or kayak. Allow about 40 minutes on the water with a qualified instructor, a stop at the Lanchâtra waterfall and, for the more daring, a quick dip in the white water. Families are welcome from age 10 on the morning discovery run.
