Description

Dive into the world of competitive canyoning around Grenoble, in the heart of the Vercors and Chartreuse mountain ranges. Supervised by a qualified guide, discover a variety of routes suitable for thrill seekers who have already tried canyoning, climbing, or rappelling. Each option takes you into a unique gorge, sculpted by water and time, where jumps, natural slides, rappels, and water passages are combined. After a short walk, you'll enter impressive scenery: limestone cliffs, emerald pools, waterfalls, and plays of light. Depending on the route you choose, you will cross various obstacles: abseiling down large waterfalls, jumping into deep pools, natural slides, and passages between boulders. The guide accompanies you at every step to ensure safety and enjoyment, while sharing their knowledge of the local wildlife, flora, and heritage. Breaks allow you to enjoy the surroundings, regain your strength, or share a picnic by the water.
