The Marc canyon is a beautiful classic of Ariège to revise your aquatic skills.
At the foot of the hamlet of Marc, the waters of the Montcalm descending into the Vicdessos valley have carved a beautiful gorge in the beech forest. In a forest atmosphere full of plays of light and shadow, a beautiful aquatic adventure awaits you.
This is a descent that can be done in half a day, it is the perfect introductory canyon: a very short approach walk (less than 15 min), beautiful obstacles that follow one after the other but without any major difficulty.
To begin this adventure you will have a complete technical briefing, with demonstration and training in rope techniques to allow you to be autonomous. At Spéléo Canyon Ariège, you will not be welcomed as "customers" but as "trainees", and it is you who will descend independently and be an actor in your adventure.
At the beginning we will walk a little in the river to warm up our joints and gradually immerse ourselves in the aquatic world.
Small slides will allow us to complete this immersion
A first balm will allow us to make a first small optional jump.
Then we will arrive at the 19 m waterfall, the highest obstacle on the course. Several options will be possible: a water zip line or a beautiful abseil on a spider's wire.
The progression will always be very rhythmic with a succession of two waterfalls, where we will abseil or jump.
After a slide we will arrive in a more contemplative part of the canyon where we will walk on foot in the water. This part of the canyon will remind pirate lovers of Treasure Island.
At the hamlet of Marc a beautiful finale awaits us with jumps and slides.
At the end of this adventure we will share a closing drink together in the garden of our canyon center. A moment of conviviality to exchange and talk about future aquatic projects.
Marc's canyon is an introductory canyon that can be done from the age of 12. There are no physical or technical prerequisites. We will support you as best we can so that you have a great descent while encouraging your independence. Jumps are not mandatory.
