What to expect
You'll kit up with wetsuit, harness and helmet before your guide leads you into Ardèche's carved limestone canyons. Expect to abseil, wade through thigh-deep water, scramble over boulders and launch yourself down natural chutes. The guide handles all rope work and technical decisions; your job is to move confidently through the terrain and enjoy the geology around you. Four hours passes quickly between driving to the site, suiting up and the actual canyon time. You'll exit tired, wet and grinning.
Good to know
Bring swimwear under your wetsuit and a change of clothes. Lunch isn't included, so eat beforehand or pack something. Not suitable if you've had recent spinal injury, are pregnant, have cardiovascular concerns, or weigh over 110kg without regular fitness habits. Arrive ready to be genuinely active.
