Canyoning: everything you need to know about this activity

Canyoning, or canyoneering, is an aquatic discipline that involves exploring ravines, the deep rocky gorges carved out over time by the flow of streams. While canyoning, people walk along the waterway, diving into natural pools, jumping from rock to rock, climbing and rappelling. This is why it is often called a mix of mountaineering and water sports.

A famous element of canyoning are the toboggans, the natural slides carved by the flow of water, found on almost every trail. The viability of the activity relies on the presence of certified mountain guides who provide the necessary wetsuit, technical equipment and assistance. Before venturing into the canyon, the guide holds a briefing on progression techniques and safety rules. Then, you are ready to go!

Canyoning is an activity suitable for everyone. It requires no special physical skills or previous experience. All you need is to be in good health, not be afraid of water and choose the course best suited to your level. The recommended period for canyoning is generally from April to October.

Gift a canyoning experience

A canyoning activity can be a fun and original gift idea for a birthday, graduation or any other occasion. Gifting a canyoning course will allow you to experience an exciting adventure in nature and have a fun-filled day. Much better than gifting an item to keep locked in a drawer, isn’t it?
