What is canyoning?

First of all, canyoning is an outdoor activity in the mountains. Lovers of nature and wide open spaces will be able to enjoy themselves and take in the view. The idea is to descend into a gorge or canyon. To do this, you go up to the start of the canyon, this is the approach walk. The duration of a canyon varies depending on its size and its approach walk. It varies in the Vicdessos valley between fifteen minutes for the Marc canyon and two and a half hours for Estat canyon. Once you reach the beginning of the canyon, you will descend using several techniques. The first and essential one is to walk in the water, on the rocks. Then, depending on the obstacles you encounter, you will be able to jump into a "pot" of deep water. If jumping is not possible, you may be able to slide down a slide or descend on a rope by rappelling. Of course, no jump is mandatory for us. When you arrive in the water, you will swim to reach the next obstacle. The obstacles are often waterfalls of varying sizes.

Why is canyoning good for you?

Canyoning is a mix of several activities, between walking, swimming and rope, you use all your muscles without even realizing it. You spend yourself with a smile and that's good for hanging out at the beach afterwards. Your brain is busy analyzing an environment it doesn't know. Suddenly, it no longer thinks about the effort it is making or the work that remains to be done at home. Everyday worries fly away in a waterfall of fresh water. Faced with more or less difficult obstacles, everyone faces their fears and challenges. Surpassing oneself is at the heart of the activity. It's still super cool to turn around to see that you have gone down that rappel or jumped that waterfall, it's not every morning that you do that, it makes you smile and it works the zygomatic muscles, one more muscle that works!

What is caving?

But what is caving?

Hello to all adventurers and nature lovers!

Are you looking for an activity that combines exploration, discovery and thrills? Then caving is for you! And if you want to live a unique and unforgettable experience, the Ariège Pyrenees are the ideal destination for this activity.

What is caving?

Caving is the activity of exploring underground caves. These caves are natural formations that have been created over time, thanks to geological processes such as erosion and the dissolution of rocks. They are often composed of limestone, a rock that dissolves easily in water. Underground caves are therefore often formed by water infiltrating the rocks and gradually dissolving them.

The Pyrenees, an ideal playground for caving

The Pyrenees are a mountain range that extends over more than 430 kilometers, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. This mountain range is characterized by great geological diversity, which has allowed the formation of numerous underground cavities. The Pyrenees therefore offer a variety of sites suitable for caving, suitable for all levels.

Prehistory in the Pyrenees

Caving in the Pyrenees is also a unique opportunity to discover the history of humanity. The Pyrenees have been inhabited since prehistoric times, and many caves contain rock paintings and engravings, evidence of the first civilizations. The caves of Niaux, Mas d'Azil and Bedeilhac are perfect examples. Caving therefore allows you to discover exceptional historical sites, while enjoying a sporting activity in the great outdoors.

The geology of the Pyrenees

Caving in the Pyrenees also allows you to discover the unique geological formations of this region. The Pyrenees are characterized by limestone, marble and schist formations, which offer a great variety of landscapes. Caves and underground cavities are therefore privileged places to discover the geological wealth of the Pyrenees.

Caving, an activity accessible to all

Caving is often seen as an activity reserved for the bravest and most athletic. But in reality, it is accessible to everyone, provided you are well supervised and equipped. Professional guides are there to accompany and guide you, to allow you to discover the underground cavities in complete safety. It is also important to be well equipped with a helmet, a headlamp, suitable shoes and a harness.
