3. Insurance
Yaute Rafting have full public liability insurance. It is the nature of adventurous activities that there will always be some degree of risk. Our insurance does not cover you for inherent risks or client negligence. Whilst not mandatory you may wish to arrange your own personal injury insurance or alternatively contact us for help in arranging cover. For your own safety it is imperative that you abide by the decisions of our Instructors/Guide. We reserve the right to make changes to planned routes and venues as a result of adverse or impending conditions.
4. We are owned and operated by our guides.
This makes us unique in the Giffre valley. The reason we run rafting trips is because we love to paddle whitewater and share river experiences with both old and new friends. Our trips are designed to provide the highest quality experience and spreading our passion for our local rivers and mountains. We like to make this evident from the moment our guests meet us and experience the Yaute hospitality at our rafting river base, until they hug us goodbye at the end of the day and drive away waving.
5. Made in "La Yaute"
We believe in sustainable tourisme. We work with locals to support our valley and to offer you the best service "made in la Yaute" to complete your holiday .
