About this tour
Chase water-carved chutes through the Moules Marinières canyon in the Vercors, a four-hour technical descent near Grenoble.

What to expect
The first half eases you in with a fun descent through tight gorge sections. Water-sculpted slides dominate here—you choose your style, roped or unroped, forward or in reverse. Grip and confidence build as you move deeper into the canyon. The second half ramps up: a substantial abseil, a series of jumps requiring commitment, and the signature slide that tests your nerve and technique. Throughout, you're threading past rock formations and into small caves, each section a new puzzle. Neoprene suit keeps the cold water manageable; helmet and harness are non-negotiable safety kit.
Good to know
Moderate to strong fitness essential—this is technically straightforward but physically demanding. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Bring a dry bag for valuables. Water temperature warrants the neoprene. No snacks provided; carry your own for the car ride home.
