About this tour
Six hours of technical canyoning down the Vercors' most celebrated river system, mixing vertical descents, abseils and natural water slides in a limestone gorge. You'll kit up with neoprene and harness, then work through a series of drops and pools with an experienced guide. It's physical, wet and absorbing—expect to finish exhausted but buzzing.
Highlights
- Rappel down multi-tier waterfalls in a narrow gorge
- Launch yourself off rock jumps into deep pools
- Slide down polished stone chutes into basins
- Lunch break among the canyon walls
- All safety gear provided and checked
What to expect
This isn't a casual splash-about. You'll be constantly problem-solving your way downstream—figuring out rope systems, managing your descent speed, reading water levels and coordinating with your group. The canyon walls close in tight, and you move between moments of real exposure and quieter scrambles over boulders. Bring a solid cardiovascular base; the physical effort is relentless over six hours. Bring your own swimsuit and grippy water shoes; the rocks are slippery and the water temperature stays cool year-round.
Good to know
Guide provides neoprene suit, harness and helmet. Bring swimwear, sturdy lace-up water shoes and a packed lunch. Not suitable for people with spinal issues, pregnancy or poor cardiovascular fitness. Moderate fitness minimum—this demands sustained effort.
