Gråura Rafting

The rafting trip on the Gråura is the ultimate rafting adventure for experienced rafters. This trip goes through the canyon from Ishoel to Liahjell and features a variety of rapids. This is an incredibly fun and exciting rafting adventure with The Sphincter, which is reminiscent of “Hells Gate” from The Lord of the Rings, as the first major rapid. This section of river has challenging lines, making it both technically and physically demanding. The Gråura canyon is deep, inaccessible and far from the nearest road, which contribute to making it a spectacular nature-based experience. 

As this is a full-day trip, participants must have a certain level of rafting skills and experience.
