Go with the flow and discover hydrospeeding in the Alpine town of Avoriaz in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, and save 30% with Pierre & Vacances. Swap white-water rafting for a different kind of white-water fun – hydrospeeding. These thick-foam boards are specially shaped to fit around the top part of the body, like a white-water sledge, and are a great way to get as close to the river’s rapids as possible. Swimmers navigate the rapids wearing a full-body neoprene wetsuit with helmet and protective pads, plus flippers for propulsion, and are given guidance on how to steer and stop. Swimmers will follow their guide down the river and before long, they will be rolling, spinning and surfing through currents, and dodging and diving round obstacles. Minimum age is 14 years. A one-hour session costs from €54 pp / £46 pp. Pierre & Vacances’ Premium residence L'Amara is located in the heart of the Portes du Soleil at the foot of the Avoriaz cliff. With impressive views over the Morzine valley. The luxury residence has a cardio-room, heated indoor pool, sauna and hammam, all of which are free of charge to guests. A seven-night self-catered stay at the Premium residence L'Amara, in a two-bedroom apartment with balcony, sleeping up to six, arriving 9 July 2022, is priced from £773 per apartment / £129 pp (was £1,104 per apartment, saving £331 / 30%). Hydrospeeding can be booked at Evolution 2 Avoriaz Pierre & Vacances (0870 0267 145, www.pierreetvacances.co.uk) Portes du Soleil: https://en.portesdusoleil.com
