What is canyoning?
Canyoning is an outdoor activity that involves descending the bed of a deep, narrow river, alternating between walking, swimming and negotiating natural obstacles.
Suitable for everyone, even from a young age (from 6 years old), it can be enjoyed by beginners as well as those looking for a more athletic challenge. Whether you’re trying it for the first time or looking to improve your technique, canyoning offers a fun and comprehensive way to experience the vertical and aquatic environment.
Combining physical exertion, pushing your limits and exploration, canyoning allows you to progress at your own pace through stunning gorges and canyons.
What can you expect on a canyoning trip?
During a canyoning trip in the Jura, you’ll explore gorges that are normally inaccessible and tackle a variety of obstacles:
- abseiling down waterfalls,
- dives into natural pools,
- slides,
- white-water swimming.
Every descent is different. Some are accessible and great fun, whilst others are more technical and challenging. The aim is always the same: to make your way through the canyon whilst having fun, in complete safety.
Safety and equipment
To ensure you can go canyoning safely, you will be provided with specialist equipment:
- neoprene wetsuit,
- harness,
- carabiners,
- helmet,
- rope (used by the guide if necessary).
Under the guidance of a professional canyoning guide, learn how to use this equipment properly whilst progressing at your own pace.
Personal items to bring
For your canyoning trip, simply make sure you bring:
- swimsuit and suitable trainers,
- Water bottle,
- Snacks.
Accessibility
Our canyoning trips can be tailored to specific groups, including people with disabilities, depending on the canyon and the conditions.
As every project is different, we recommend that you contact us in advance. We will assess the feasibility and propose a suitable solution.
