Full description

Adrenaline and adventure reach the highest level with this canyoning route for sportsmen and mountain lovers. Thrills, fun, a challenge to oneself and close contact with nature await you!

The Chalamy torrent, near the Mont Avic Natural Park in the Aosta Valley, is very popular with canyoning enthusiasts because it promises varied, complete routes full of obstacles to overcome.

The 'Sporting Spirit' itinerary alternates playful and technical sections in a succession of dives, slides, vertical walls and abseiling. It is designed to push you to push your limits, while remaining safe with the help of expert guides.

What we will do

We will meet in Champdepraz (AO ) and after the necessary introductions we will move by shuttle to a point in the vicinity of the canyon. Wearing wetsuits and allnecessary equipment, we will conduct a briefing on safety rules and progression techniques.

We will reach the Chalamy torrent with a few minutes' walk and... on with the adventure! We'll tackle an adrenaline-filled, complete and thrilling canyoning course, with dives from rock spurs up to 10 metres high and slides up to 12 metres long, i.e. natural slides carved out by the flow of water.

The route becomes progressively more complex, with the first section playful and rather simple, until the second, more technical section, where the environment becomes more enclosed, the gorges deeper and the walls higher and more vertical (up to 33 metres). The rope descents will be carried out independently, so that you can experience the thrill of a real abseil on your own skin!

Guides will always be at our side to give us assistance and support and the highest jumps can be avoided, but for a truly memorable experience, the advice is to... jump!

At the end of the canyoning course we will return to the cars, hand in our equipment and dry off. To end the day on a high note, we can refresh ourselves in one of the typical restaurants and trattorias in the area recommended by the guide.

The activity lasts a total of 4.5 hours, 3.5 of which in the water.

Who it is aimed at

This activity is at an intermediate level. It is not necessary to have experience in canyoning, but it is necessary to be in good physical shape, have a fair degree of confidence with heights and be familiar with water. You can participate from 14 years of age.
