We will welcome you in the garden of our center Speleo Canyon Ariege in front of a small coffee or fruit juice in order to present the activity and the topography of the cavity to make you feel super comfortable. To fully enjoy this experience, we will then provide you with suitable clothing (caving suit, river shoes, full harness and helmet with electric lighting)...

After a short approach walk in the forest, the cave finally opens up in the heart of the Ariège jungle. You will reach the 3 small easy abseil descents of 4, 10 and 3 meters, then engage in the passage of the "serpentine" to reach the large rooms of the cave.

The main underground river awaits you for a tonic descent through the large galleries. You will cross wet vaults and many water slides before ending in the mineral canyon, a unique experience that will remain etched in your memory.

Le canyon souterrain est une aventure originale, facile et accessible à tous, mais qui n'en reste pas moins riche en sensations. Vous pourrez admirer les merveilles de la nature sous un autre angle, découvrir les jeux de lumières et d'ombres, et peut-être même apercevoir quelques chauves-souris.

The Artigue canyon, the sporty version

The Arctic Canyon, aquatic and sporty

With our team we went to explore the Artigue canyon two days ago. The water level was quite high at the end of spring and after the snow melted. A great opportunity to confront this canyon which then becomes very aquatic.

We spent a great morning there, between scouting out locations to prepare for future outings this summer and a good dose of fun for us.

We had to be a little careful though, the water level called for caution. But what a joy to have all this water just for us! We jumped everywhere, under a magnificent sun, in the turquoise water.

We really enjoyed ourselves, after having probed the basins and changed a few moorings, the canyon is now passable, ideal for a sporty outing that gets a bit going!

So, the World Cup is over, the adventure of the Artigue canyon begins,

and you, what are you doing this summer?
