CANYONING

Welcome to the Alpes Maritimes, the canyoning paradise. Canyoning is the activity which has grabbed the attention of outdoor lovers since the 80's and is attracting more and more people. This is easy to explain. To follow a river which has cut its way deeply through a mountain might seem a foolish idea. But when to do so, you have to jump into crystal clear pools, abseil down waterfalls, swim across pools squeezed between two vertical walls or just walk along lushy river banks, then you understand why canyoning took off so fast.

The Alpes Maritimes county contains a great number of descents, only one hour drive from the famous Côte d'Azur. They offer different types of descent : from the aquatic canyons with or without abseil, to the ones with high waterfalls, you'll have too much to chose from! You'll find in the next paragraphs, the equipment we provide and the itinaries we propose for the day. You'll find also week-end and several days packages and muti-activities packages.

THE EQUIPMENT

The location of the equipment is included in the price. We provide: a 5 mm wetsuit (in two parts : vest and trouser), a helmet, a harness rigged with cowstails and descender. We also provide neoprene socks. You'll have to bring: a towel, a swimming trunk and a pair of shoes to walk in the river; jogging type are well suited for this activity.
