Each canyon has its own unique characteristics – some are aquatic, involving lots of swimming and many jumps, while others are aerial and vertical, where abseiling techniques will be used to descend high waterfalls.

No particular technical knowledge required, Canyoning allows beginners to discover inaccessible places., where the pleasure of jumps and slides down natural slopes is mixed with the thrills of abseiling, in often grandiose landscapes.

The instructions given by the climbing specialist guide before departure allow for a quick mastery of the abseiling technique.
