*For the 2026 season, due to unforeseen circumstances and ongoing road construction in the Tzoumerka area, the local authorities and the Municipality of Tzoumerka have directed us to modify our usual trail - which we have been using for many years- for safety reasons. Alpine Zone is committed to ensuring the highest quality experience for all our guests, plus safety, pleasant time and great experiences in Greece’s best River despite these specific circumstances.

What To Expect
We begin our ride from the impressive Plaka Bridge, a stunning 20-meter-high, 40-meter-wide single-arch stone structure— the largest of its kind in the Balkans. After getting ourselves fully equipped with specialized rafting equipment we set off downstream. No prior rafting experience is required for this exhilarating journey, which takes us through waters rated at a challenging Class III WW difficulty level, inviting us to marvel at the vibrant reflections. As we paddle through the river, we are immersed in the awe-inspiring beauty of the surroundings. The canyon walls rise up to 700 meters, adding to the dramatic landscape and offering breathtaking views of the Arachthos Gorge and its crystal-clear waters. In winter, the waterfall is full and roaring, but by summer, some areas of the riverbed are barely covered with water, and certain spots can even run dry. After a thrilling 9-kilometer descent, the rafting journey concludes at the Tzari area. We return back again with our buses at Alpine Zone’s base, which is located just a few meters past the Plaka Bridge, with friendly staff offering traditional syrupy sweets, refreshing water, changing rooms, and washing facilities.
