Canyoning dans les Gorges du Verdon - Activité à Castellane

Canyoning

Immerse yourself in the heart of the Verdon Gorge and experience an exploration rich in sensations: jumps, abseils and natural slides await you.

Venturing into a narrow canyon carved by water, following the water's course, its trace in the rock which forms corridors, slides and deep pools. Walk, swim, jump, slide and abseil, or even ziplining (on a rope stretched horizontally) are all ways to explore the hidden spots deep in the Verdon canyons.

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.
