Canyoning

Canyoning, also known as downhill canyoning, is an outdoor activity combining several disciplines such as walking, climbing, swimming and whitewater jumping. Canyoning generally takes place in steep, narrow canyons, where water has carved natural passages through the rock over time. Canyoning is both an adventure sport and a unique way to explore natural landscapes that are often otherwise inaccessible.

Participants, equipped with neoprene wetsuits, helmets, harnesses and sometimes ropes, follow the course of a river or stream through a canyon, overcoming natural obstacles in a variety of ways. These obstacles can include waterfalls to be rappelled down, natural slides formed by rock erosion, deep pools into which to jump or dive, and narrow passages requiring swimming or walking in the water.

One of the unique features of canyoning is the diversity of environments you can encounter. From dry, arid canyons to lush, aquatic gorges, this activity allows you to discover the raw, untamed beauty of nature. What's more, canyoning requires good physical condition and agility, as well as a certain ability to manage risk and work as part of a team, since safety often relies on mutual aid and communication between participants.

The practice of canyoning is regulated in many parts of the world to ensure the safety of participants and the preservation of natural sites. It is strongly recommended to start this activity with professional guides or qualified instructors who can provide the necessary equipment, teach progression and safety techniques, and guide participants through routes adapted to their skill level.

Canyoning offers an immersive outdoor experience that combines discovery, adrenaline and respect for the environment. It's an invitation to connect with nature in an intense and respectful way, exploring magical places shaped by water and time.
