This introductory course is designed for beginners (the advanced course is available here) who wish to try canyoning for the first time in complete safety. After getting kitted out and a short approach walk along a hiking trail starting from the hamlet of Angon, the canyon begins with the ‘letterbox’ passage: a sort of limestone boulder wedged above a waterfall, a great fun way to start the descent down the stream! We then continue through the gorges, tackling a series of slides, jumps and varied abseils amidst the waterfalls that will take us to the end of the stream.
It really is a beautiful route, alternating between walking in shallow water and descending waterfalls, amidst a lush forest. Nature lovers and thrill-seekers alike will be in their element!
There’s plenty of instruction too, as your guide will explain before each activity the best way to tackle the obstacle, whether it’s a jump, a slide or an abseil whilst comfortably secured in your harness.
There are no difficult sections such as siphons or stretches of white-water swimming, making this a gentle introduction for those with less experience! For a truly memorable day combining lake and mountain activities, we recommend combining your trip with another activity such as rock climbing, a via ferrata or even paragliding in the Aravis!
Our qualified canyoning guides and instructors are all state-certified. They have all the necessary equipment for rescue operations and organising the canyon descent. They will be on hand to advise you and help you discover the activity in a friendly atmosphere, in small groups of 10 people.
