Versoud Canyon Vercors massif
Description
Easy to access from Lyon, Grenoble, and Valence cities, it's hard to imagine while driving on the way from Grenoble to Valence that at "La Rivière," a small village next to the canyon, there are hidden beautiful waterfalls suitable for beginners to experience canyoning.
However, once you reach the parking lot, you quickly arrive at the entrance of a stunning gorge where waterfalls and pools are lined up, ready for rappelling, sliding, and jumping.
The Versoud Canyon is indeed one of the best canyons in the western barrier of the Vercors Massif for discovering canyoning activities in Isère.
It is easier and shorter (only 3 hours) than the Écouges Canyon Part II, with a brief 10-minute approach walk and a comfortable flat return walk.
Everything flows smoothly in the canyon, with very little walking between the obstacles. You'll encounter a series of hanging basins, waterslides, rappels, and jumps. This canyon is well-suited for groups "He/Stag" and families with children seeking an easy canyoning route near Grenoble. It is also a great choice for corporate outings from Lyon, Grenoble, or Valence. Leisure organization groups can also enjoy this canyoning experience near Grenoble.
