Stand-Up Paddle Rental on the Rhône in Geneva

Gliding across the water standing on your board and letting yourself drift along the current of a majestic river is the perfect way to escape in the canton of Geneva. After leaving the calm waters of Lake Geneva behind, the Rhône begins a gentle and winding descent through the Geneva countryside, offering an accessible Class 1 route ideal for stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the river’s tree-lined banks shelter surprisingly rich wildlife and vegetation, forming a preserved green corridor. By choosing this self-guided SUP rental on the Rhône, you will discover Geneva’s riverside landscapes from a refreshing and unique perspective.

Your SUP adventure in Geneva begins at La Jonction, the iconic meeting point between the Arve and the Rhône. The Rafting-Loisirs team welcomes you at the end of the Sentier des Saules, where you will receive your single-person stand-up paddleboard, available in either rigid or inflatable format and selected for its stability and smooth glide. An experienced instructor will provide a short logistical briefing covering the navigation route and essential safety instructions. You will then be equipped with a certified buoyancy aid and a 24-litre waterproof barrel to safely store your personal belongings during the descent.

One of the main advantages of renting a SUP on the Rhône is the complete freedom it offers. Without a guide, you are free to manage your pace and enjoy the river however you wish, alternating between active paddling and relaxing breaks. You can stop along the banks for a swim or a picnic in nature, particularly during a longer pause at Bois-des-Frères. This independent activity is ideal for enjoying a peaceful moment with family or friends. The 8-kilometre descent ends downstream at Peney-Dessous, where the base instructors will collect the rental equipment directly.

This nature outing is available from May to October, covering the entire summer season when water temperatures and weather conditions are ideal for water activities. Book your stand-up paddle rental in Geneva now and get ready to explore the Rhône in complete freedom!
