🔎 What is canyoning?

Canyoning is an outdoor activity that involves following a riverbed through narrow gorges. It involves jumping, sliding, swimming, and rappelling down waterfalls. Fun and refreshing, it's an adventure to enjoy at your own pace, with family, as a couple, or with friends.

⚠️ Is canyoning dangerous?

Like any mountain activity, canyoning carries risks, but when supervised by our experienced instructors and properly equipped, it remains very safe. Our courses are suitable for all levels, and our teaching method places safety at the heart of every outing.

🧰 What equipment is provided?

Everything! We equip you from head to toe: a 5mm two-piece neoprene wetsuit, a mountain-standard helmet, a harness with a lanyard and descender, socks, and canyoning shoes. At the start of the season, we add a thermal top and gloves for comfort.

🏊🏼‍♀️ Do you need to know how to swim?

It depends on the canyon! Some, like Argensou or Subra, don't require swimming skills. Others involve short swims in deep pools. It's therefore recommended to be comfortable in the water. If you have any doubts, ask us for advice!
