The River Dranse flows through St Jean d’Aulps, making its way from Morzine to Lac Leman and is renowned for hosting numerous water based activities - including white water rafting, kayaking, hydrospeeding and canyoning. The lake itself provides the perfect setting for water skiing, wind surfing and sailing or just a leisurely stroll.
