What is canyoning ?

The canyons in Rhône-Alpes offer the opportunities to swim in large natural pools (narrow corridors formed by vertical walls) and to walk in labyrinths.

In our canyons trips, the choice is vast (duration, difficulty, commitment ...), from Lyon, via Grenoble (Charteuse or Vercors ranges), above Annecy Lake (Tournette lountain or Bauges range).

The courses are diversidfied with abseiling down, into waterfalls or in their sprays, in the natural slides. With the security provided by the Guide, you could jump from rock steps or waterfalls to dive into some crystal clear water pools and it’s completely safe if you apply the Guide instructions.

Come to discover our Canyons courses for groups in the Vercors, Chartreuse, Belledonne ranges and around Annecy Lake.

This activity is open to all levels and to 8+ years old. Special rates offer for groups over 6, seminars, bachelor/rette parties.

Very nice canyoning outing in the Furon! Thanks to Kévin who was able to give us confidence and challenge us just enough. I was able to experience solo rappelling, a great first. My quads still remember it 2 days later, not helping for hikes 😝
