PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Rafting-Loisirs is the creation of one man: Jean-Pierre Golay, better known as “Nounours”, driven by his two passions: his profession as a socio-cultural counsellor and his favourite sport, canoe-kayak.

For more than 10 years now, he has kept a strong desire to introduce people to white water sports and the will to share these unforgettable moments of friendship. Rafting-Loisirs’ activities are to be found in the Geneva Public Register since 1994.

M. Golay has a long experience: within Geneva’s Canoe Club, he was a member for almost 20 years of the Mouvement de la Jeunesse Suisse Romande, a volunteer job, then permanent counsellor for many years and finally directed the Geneva Swiss Skiing School during 3 seasons. Meanwhile Rafting-Loisirs quickly introduced various additional activities: it first started offering mountain biking activities, summer camps and corporate incentives, and finally snowshoeing.

In addition, the team of counsellors does not only supervise sports activities, it also ensure that everything takes place in a atmosphere of friendship and conviviality. Indeed, guides will offer you a drink after the activity and will make sure you get a clean spot to picnic and end your day fully relaxed. Nevertheless, safety remains a key concern: on water, strict rules apply and on land, all authorisations are renewed each year.
