• If you finish at the Diaclase, there is a 20 minute steep walk to the car park.

It's the same.

Difficulty: The lower part of Ecouges, also known as "Ecouges 2", is more accessible and better suited for beginners or mixed groups of different levels. The upper part of the Ecouges canyon is known to be technical and demanding, requiring good physical condition and previous experience in canyoning.

Canyon Walls: Although still steep-walled, the lower part is more open and less narrow than the upper part. The upper part is characterized by a narrow and deep canyon, offering a series of impressive waterfalls and dizzying rappels.

Rappels: There are several rappels, with the highest reaching 28 meters. These rappels are generally less technical than those in the upper part.

Jumps and Slides: The lower part is particularly appreciated for its numerous natural jumps and slides, providing thrills and fun at every step. While the upper part includes some jumps and slides, they are less frequent than in the lower part.

With a balanced combination of rappels, jumps, and slides, the lower part offers a diverse and playful experience. The "part 1" is reserved for more seasoned adventurers seeking technical challenges and a wild environment.
