Upcoming outings
In a Nutshell
We are a volunteer-run canoe and kayak club located in Meyrin, Switzerland.
We organize regular outings on flat water, whitewater, and in multi-person dragon boats.
Trips are announced on our website and open to subscription.
Everyone is welcome; no experience necessary!
Just testing the waters?
Non-members can join a trip for 15 euros.
We have boats and gear for most shapes and sizes.
Curious? Contact us! We're always excited to meet new people.
Ready to "Send It?"
Our club organizes whitewater and slalom outings for more advanced paddlers on Class III/IV.
Our hometown rivers are located between 20 min – 2.5 hours from Geneva.
We also venture to Italy, Austria and Norway.
Competitive Spirit
We have a small but fierce slalom team, regularly placing in the top spots! Practices run throughout the summer, both after work in Annemasse and during weekends at artificial courses.
Heave, Ho!
Looking to paddle as part of a team? Our dragon boat can hold up to twenty paddlers!
Practices run from mid-May through September on Lake Divonne. We also travel to local and international competitions.
Kayak Polo
Fancy playing something like rugby in kayak? Our club partners with the Divonne kayak polo team to run trainings and matches. Hope you’re not too attached to your teeth (it's OK, we wear face-guards)!
More of a lone wolf?
Our members organize extended distance paddling trips over lunch and after work. Local jaunts are the Rhone and Lac Leman.
We'll also occasionally plan longer sea kayaking outings on the French, Italian and British coastlines.
